PRG-HEL/ LED-PRG in C

I´m thinking about award ticket from Prague to Helsinky and then back from St Petersburg to Prague in C.

It will be my first flight in C, so I would like enjoy it as much as possible :-)

I can choose from OS (via VIE) or LH (via MUC or FRA) or on the way back LX (via ZHR).

Can you give me advice please which airline I should choose? (On bord service, lounges...)

Thank you very much for your help.

But all flights on OS (PRG-VIE and VIE-HEL) are on small regional aircrafts.
Tyrolean Airways - Fokker 70, Fokker 100 or Canadair Regional Jet.

PRG-VIE you will get in OS C a small snack. On the VIE-HEL you will get a warm meal. The problem with the small aircraft is, that there is no free blocked seat next to you in C. If you want to have more space, then you have to choose LH.

Thank you for the info. And what about the return leg? LX or OS?

I like LX biz. But on the ZRH-PRG sector you will fly Helvetic, right?

Try LX. So you can compare OS & LX.

To silversurfer: You are right. The leg ZHR-PRG will be on HELVETIC AIRWAYS - Fokker 100

What I can expect on LED-ZHR and on ZHR-PRG?

To daumueller: It will be Fly Smart award 25 000 miles + 12 000miles for taxes.
The miles will expire any way.

I would not waste points on shorthaul business either, but if you have to spend them I would go for PRG-VIE-HEL||LED-ZRH-PRG. On the other hand, if you could afford to pay taxes, you could do two different economy trips for the points you have...
