LX: CH/Europe - JFK runs
With the current double mile promotions and low fares in all classes on the GVA-JFK flight (now - end of March) and the ZRH-EWR/JFK flights (Feb - end of March), some people consider a "mileage run" to New York. Perhaps we could use this topic to coordinate our activities for possible meetings?
I am considering the weekend of 24/27 JAN for a ZRH-GVA-JFK trip, hoping for a longhaul webspecial (CHF399) on the route on that date. I am flexible though. Also, is it even worth it looking at the very negative changes from QG to TravelClub? ------------------ airOli, the Swiss Air Line. ;) |
I was thinking about doing that run, too. The problem with Jan 24-27 is, that the webspecials usually require 3 nights or a saturday night. And January 26 is SuperBowl Sunday, when I usually have a crowd over at my apartment to watch the game.
I was more thinking early February (isn't the double miles promotion also just from Feb 1 ?). By the way, with SWISS Winter Specials, GVA-JFK is CHF 499.- plus tax. Would be great to coordinate our dates and meet in NY. I have my bar exam coming up in mid-February, so I can't stay too long. I was thinking 2 nights, one of them a saturday night. As to the negative changes: I'm planning to use my miles for F-awards to the USA, and these actually got reduced. Only question for me is whether it's worth going for Silver. Upgrades from C to F have become so much more expensive... But I guess lounge access and 20% bonus aren't so bad afterall. |

Just got the dates for my exams. The only weekend I'll be able to go is February 22-24. Anybody else thinking about going then ?

There is a very interesting webspecial from AMS to NYC as well:
"BOOK between Monday, 6 January at 12.00 (noon) and Friday, 10 January at 12.00 (noon). **Travel period for European destinations** Friday, 10 January, until Sunday, 19 January, 2002 **Travel period for long-haul destinations** Friday, 10 January, until Friday, 24 January, 2003 The offers are available on: http://www.swiss.com/webspecials **DEPARTURES FROM AMSTERDAM TO** ATHENS from EUR 232,- LISBON from EUR 175,- OPORTO from EUR 195,- NEWARK from EUR 282,- " |
Bumping this to the top since I'm still interested in this run. Have any dates been set / booked yet? Who's running anyway?

Hi airoli, I have a mileage run booked on February 21-23 BSL-GVA-JFK-GVA-BSL. I'm meeting some Law School buddies of mine on one night (don't know which one yet), but would be available the other night.
On a different note: I'm thinking about a BSL-HAM run this Sunday (maybe via Zurich). Question: are 30 minutes enough to get from an arriving BSL-HAM flight on a departing HAM-ZRH flight ? What if I already check in for the return flight in Basel ? |
Never mind, I booked the following additional run for this Sunday:
LX-2987 SWISS Basel Zurich 10:40 / 26JAN 11:20 / 26JAN Economy LX-1058 SWISS Zurich Hamburg 15:45 / 26JAN 17:20 / 26JAN Economy LX-1061 SWISS Hamburg Zurich 19:55 / 26JAN 21:25 / 26JAN Economy LX-2990 SWISS Zurich Basel 22:05 / 26JAN 22:40 / 26JAN Economy Cost was CHF 169.50 for 3000 Club miles and 5000 Bonus miles (if I counted right...) |
Sorry to be a bit off-topic here, but Huegli: If it's a US bar exam you're talking about (esp. if it's NY), I suggest you burn ALL available miles to fly F to and from - it's one of the worst academic/professional experiences I've ever had (the bar, not flying F to NY!) One of the multistate questions was actually "if aliens contact the US, who has jurisdiction?"
|
Don't worry, I was talking about the Swiss bar exam. I could have taken the NY bar after getting my LL.M. from the University of Chicago Law School, but everybody I asked advised against it... And at that time, I didn't have the extra money to burn, anyway.
I guess the answer to the multistate question is very simple: everytime anybody contacts anybody, the US have jurisdiction.... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif |
