E is the lowest of the low as far as booking classes go, Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings are thus generally difficult, transfers times sometimes not the best optimised - but who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth!

No problem with booking so far, but then, I´m only booking a MUC-GVA RT in early December. Par contre, the connection from Erfurt (ERF) to MUC with OLT Ostfriesiches Lufttransport is impossible to get at a reasonable price. Cheapest seats all sold until January. How can that be? At least LX availability is not so impossible.

If I had to guess, 41 would be a likely answer to a question in a 41*41 competition - and that answer has already produced results!
It seems to me though that that answer is almost certainly wrong. It must depend on Swiss's geography. For example, I place Moscow firmly in Europe, as well as other Eastern European cities. Also, Istanbul airport is on the European side, so far as I remember. But perhaps these are not included in Europe for the purposes of the competition.
Or have they included destinations in their dropdown boxes which they no longer serve? Surely not!

Hmmm ...
From today's Financial Times, London (from a story about LX joining OW):
'... European destinations are coming down from 56 to 41 with routes eliminated from Zurich including Cologne/Bonn, Oslo, Venice and seven in east Europe ...'
So is the (correct) answer 56 or 41? It doesn't matter as we know that 41 is the winning answer

I've a question for those, who have already booked their ticket they had won. How many days does it usually take to issue this e-ticket (because normally this happens within one day)??? I phoned them to confirm and book the flight on Saturday...

Are we sure about the "non transferable" ticket ? i don't see any mention of this in the rule, plus the message says " You have won...for ONE PERSON"; It doesn't say who.
I'm asking this, because I have won 2 tickets and would like to donate one. ... ?

Absolutely sure. Well, I asked several times and they said it is strictly nominative. But keep asking. You never, the dance steps in life often change.

They will ask you on the phone on what day you have won. Then they will look it up in their database.

The competition seems to have stopped. I thought it went on for longer, to mid-October.
By the way, you are not liable for the full taxes. Instead of CHF82 for Nuremberg I pay CHF59, instead of CHF94 for Frankfurt CHF39, etc. The Swiss taxes seem to be exempt. But not everyone seems to know this. They are terribly high, the normal taxes. Who gets all this money?
