Based in the UK so a few options. But difficult to find reasonable fares that earn many miles. Even most LH business fares get 0%. It's sometimes cheaper to fly long haul and earn miles that way than within Europe. I use the ITA matrix to find the qualifying flights. Frustratingly I miscalculated the miles for my next flight hence the shortfall.
I flew with Ethiopian Airlines to CPT, but I wasn't aware of the fare class issue with Asiana when I booked.
I shall have to keep looking for any good fares.
