There is a Happy Miles promo between June 1 – August 2016, on both Aegean and Olympic flights:

I think there is always a happy miles promotion, but just that every 3 months they change the destinations...

Are there actually ever promotions in biz - or economy only?

The low normal revenue prices of most flights -- and high taxes -- makes even most discount deals still not attractive enough.

What are the sweet spots of redemption?

My candidate is 100k miles to New Zealand, if you can find availability on NZ.

And, of course, one way flights across the Atlantic.

According to Charlie's blog, here are the sweetspots:

My favorite is from West Coast North America-Israel/North Africa in J, and intra-Far East in J.

I generally don't regard business or first class redemptions as Sweetspots. Maybe I will when I get old. :-)

You can also try economy

:D!

Well the whole chart is kind of a sweet spot for J and F

I've never looked at any award charts for *A apart from A3, so perhaps they are all just as good - but you can get J for roughly 1.5x Y, and F for 2x Y in most cases

Compared to BA where after 2015 devaluation, longhaul J is 2.5-4.6x the Y price and F is 3.4-6.1x the Y price, though the multipliers are lower for multipartner non-BA redemptions

After renewing A3 Gold twice, I now have (only) 50k A3 miles... which is enough for 42000 J partner redemption in a single zone which could cost up to 75000 avios with BA

But hard to earn A3 miles for a UK based person who mainly flies on oneworld-heavy routes and airports, and the recent crazy sale fares from OW (mainly QR)
