Unless you're trying to spend Avios, I would consider flying on a European airline with a 24-hour connection and pick up a country that way. You could probably even fly out on AF and back on KLM and stay near CDG and AMS. Same probably applies to a combined LH/LX.
But is your Accelerate really worth it? Sometimes it's better to just skip one or two quarters completely so that your targets become easier.
