Find via Fluege.de or Billigfluege.de.
Only €1 if you book with the Visa Electron or Billigfluege.de CC (billigfluege.de) or Fluege.de creditcard (fluege.de); otherwise add €15 cc charges. And don't click on any of the extra fares.
Works for most dates after March 29 2015!!! Same day turns possible, but more expensive.
Would almost be worth getting the CC and just doing a couple of these per day (combine multiple bookings, the train takes 1.15 hour, so you could do at least 5 per day of these, and just work while you are at it)
Samples:

Step one: Find out which FF programs receive credit on Miles&More "K" class tickets...
Step two: Send out a 'dummy' booking to see if it credits, even without taking the train...

Eurobonus seems to credit these at a minimum of 75 miles. Now, 100 one-way trips would qualify for diamond. That's 50 eur. I have a gut feeling that this isn't going to be so easy, but I'll book one, credit to SAS and see what happens.

Airrail (LH op by deutschebahn) segments don't qualify for the M/M FTL qualification by segments. Also check your FF-programme, if op by deutsche bahn is allowed in the earning miles table.

Or you do take the train, book 10 seats under the same name and have them check all 10 tickets that one time you ride... then your MPM goes up significantly
worth a €10 gamble
