Hon Run Routing? [and other quick SEN/FTL qualification mileage runs on LX/LH/OS]
The HON Run Routing Munich - Geneve - Zurich - Vienna and back seems not to work anymore for fares around 650 Euro in Business Class.
Does anybody have similar routings with 2 transfers, preferrably to Vienna?
Thanks!

How about a massive HON run (not via VIE though):
SFO-FRA-DEL return with an LH ZLSPECE fare of USD 4.790.
That will net you 42.700 status miles as SEN and 47.445 as HON.

I did ATH-FRA-MNL last January and got for Z 33.800 miles (as SEN) for 2109 EUR (ratio = 62.4 EUR/1000miles) - and all RTF-offers from Germany are even better. I say: Everything with a ratio of >60 EUR / 1000 miles in not suitable for a Status-Run.
MUC-VIE with 1 transfer is actually bookable at the internet in J/Z for 572 EUR, try to book it with 2 transfers via the hotline. It should be possible.

Actually USD4790=EUR3465. This will be a ratio of 81EUR/1000miles.

Remember:
For the new C, SQ will charge you at check-in upon presenting you StarRTW ticket. Intra-Asian routes (such as HKG-SIN) are 300 US$ extra...if you are not willing to pay, they will rebook you to the next SQ flight with the regular C.

The LX BOM C special:
IAD/BOS/JFK-ZRH-BOM for 4121$
Thats aprox >32000 status miles without status. I leave it to you to calculate the EUR/mile cost.

46€/1000 miles (as SEN) is the "good old run routing" MUC-GVA-ZRH-VIE-ZRH-GVA-MUC (currently for about 636€)

It works, but it is a little bit more expensive. From DUS you might wish to consider CDG. To my recollection I paid in the range of 690 when doing a (seriously required) DUS - GVA - ZRH - CDG - ZRH - DUS early this year.
