15% on Swiss Airlines flights departing from Europe

To celebrate the Valentines Day, Swiss Airlines offers a 15% discount on all flights with SWISS flight numbers (LX) departing from Italy, Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Turkey and Romania to a worldwide destination. These are flights operated by SWISS or its partner airlines.

The discount is in the form of an electronic voucher that you should buy before booking the ticket.

Vouchers come in three different increments:
- a 100€ voucher for which you pay only 85€;
- a 200€ voucher for which you pay only 170€;
- a 300€ voucher for which you pay only 255€.

Thus, buy the voucher that corresponds best to the value of your planned ticket:
- if the value of the voucher is less than the value of the ticket, you will pay the difference as usual, with a credit card;
- if the value of the voucher is greater than the value of the ticket, you will not be reimbursed the excess, so make sure you buy the correct value voucher.


See this banner to go to the Swiss page to buy the voucher:

The vouchers may be bought only until 22 February 2013 and must be redeemed until 31 March 2013, for travel until 31 March 2014 (so you have a one year travel window, but only a 2 month booking period, until March this year).

The voucher is to be applied on the travel options page, just after you select the outbound and inbound flights. On the bottom of that page you will find the section "Voucher redemption" where you have to input the code of the e-voucher you purchased previously - see print-screen below:

Thus, for a flight Brussels - Lisbon in March (see print-screen above), you will save 15€ by using a 100€ voucher, and will end up paying 112€ instead of 127€ per person.
