LOT ARN/OSL to Dubai from €659
Few caveats on this:
- Warsaw to Dubai is unfortunately on a 737MAX, so, only "European business class" with free seat in the middle. The Scandinavian feeders meanwhile are on Embraers.
- You can seemingly only fly this with overnight stays in each direction at WAW. However, at least hotels are cheap there.
- Only available from Dec '23-Mar '24.
- There're a few other European airports that are slightly more expensive but flying from ARN likely makes most sense given the poor hard product on these flights makes it hard to justify anything more costly.

Great find, with the new M&M qualifying points from 2024, 4 returns and you are almost SEN ( *G ) & that is valid for rest of 24 to Feb 26
So SEN for around 2,800 EUR
So SEN for around 2,800 EUR

Back when I was still with them, 2 LH and 2SH returns in J in a year was not enough to even get Frequent Traveller.

Literally everything changes on 1st January & not for the better but this fare shows there are sweet spots.

Thanks I found the thread in LH section and for me it's a huge upgrade. If those rules had been in place 5 years ago, it may have switched my loyalties around completely.
...the question for this fare is whether you are absolutely sure that WAW-DXB is considered an intercontinal segment, when they operate it in narrowbody?

perfect intercontinental hopping could be with ethiopian from north africa to middle east (dubai, etc.) because it would be 4 intercontinental segments when travelling via ADD. or Copa flights from South America via Panama to other South American countries (e.g. from Equador to Colombia via Panama) - however none of these flight connections would be on LH group metal which is bad as you need at least half of your status points collected on LH group airlines

Astana-Warsaw-Dubai roundtrip in biz is 1550€ - would be 800 points and 800 qualifying points for relatively few euros. two of these roundtrips plus a biz positioning flight from Europe to Astana would earn 2000 qualifying points and SEN.
