Great functionality...... When trying to book ZRH-LAX (just to see how much the tax was gonna be), the site tells me that I can't book this flight online within this timeframe before departure. Hmmmmm.....

I've just booked the following itinerary for CHF166 (99+tax):
LX 2984 SWISS Zurich Basel 08:40 / 18JAN 09:15 / 18JAN Economy
LX 1760 SWISS Basel Rome (FCO) 09:45 / 18JAN 11:20 / 18JAN Economy
LX 1761 SWISS Rome (FCO) Basel 17:55 / 18JAN 19:40 / 18JAN Economy
LX 2993 SWISS Basel Zurich 20:05 / 18JAN 20:40 / 18JAN
Oddly enough, the site seems to allow routings via GVA/BSL at no extra cost right now...

Oli,
I cannot find your flights.
For Rome you can only fly out of Zurich.
So how come are you flying out Basel from Zurich to Rome?

Dont think so , the 70 CHF ZRH- Bale extra was already added to your 99 Rome from Zurich trip .. looks normal ..

Nope, CHF99 for ZRH-FCO plus CHF70 for the extra legs via BSL would be 169 without tax. My total was CHF166.50 with tax for ZRH,BSL and FCO.</font>

Very nice price indeed, 166,50.- CHF tax incl.
3000 club miles, 2000 e-tkets, 1000 e-cheking, 1000 online bkk.
Total: 7000 miles and of course maybe 3000 TC Gold bonus.

This is strange as hell. Booking ZRH-FCO is no problem. But when I try to add a feeder flight from Basel, I get the stupid message about not being able to book within that timeframe. I guess it's the flights from Basel that are the problem.
Now I'm thinking about just driving to ZRH by car and still route the flight through Basel. Is a hassle, but regarding the miles, it's a good offer.

kooks, TC Gold bonus is only 30% on the 3000 status miles, so 900 miles.

airoli, you're going in the 18th, right ? I have a full schedule on Saturday, so I'll probably be going on Sunday. When scrapping the last leg, wouldn't that alter my fare ? I would for sure lose the 500 club miles, and right now I'm going for Silver and need all the clubmiles I can get...
Anybody else going on Sunday ?

I don t follow. Have the bonus distribution changed?
Do you get the bonuses as usual for every 10'000 club miles 3000 bonus (TC Gold) or do you get 30% each time you get club miles?.
