CX does not fly to VIE

Where is the next best option to fly into followed by a rail / air trip to VIE ?

? FRA

? MXP

or ??? CDG, LHR

And the reasons for your thoughts please

I'd like to fly CX on this occasion.

From the connecting airport, I could use either OW or * Alliance points.

Thanks

I would suggest CX to FRA then HG to VIE. Both are oneworld so CX should interline the baggage straight through from HKG. The HG flight departs ~3 hours after CX arrives at FRA so plenty of time to freshen up. Also involves less backtracking than LHR, and I don't fancy a layover in MXP or CDG..

HG? Who are HG?
 
I also vaguely recall RJ or QR having some random European tag flights that might include VIE.
 
Mrs Lime and self doing VIE out of HKG via DXB, have to have 20 hour stopover so get free nights accom from EK connect.
 
All OW options direct to VIE are on Niki Air except for QR which does Doha to Vienna direct

I'm also open to * Alliance redemption (via SQ) as well.

Thinking of LH connection from FRA to VIE; No interline baggage there I know. But that is not a deal breaker.

Thanks but I prefer CX on this occasion [sampled EK already]

If I were to use EK, I might as well go SYD DXB VIE.. but I want to sample The Chairman again and spend the night(s) in HKG.
 
maybe HKG-FRA-VIE on LH then, you should be able to get the 748 from HKG-FRA

Have not thought of this !!

I was only thinking of sampling CX F from HKG [bucket list item]

Is LH F equal to the task ( i.e. dream) ??

Value-loaded Q, that is.

Is there F cabin on that LH route ?

I read somewhere that LH F is not available for * Alliance redemption. Is that correct ?

If so, I'd have to stay with CX then.
 
You can use *A points and fly BR TPE-VIE, that's what I am doing in three weeks time :D
