*A Europe-Far East award for 50,000 miles!

If you have miles in both M&M and M+, you can combine them and get the award cheaper.

Lufthansa M&M
within Central Asia, Far East award: 30,000 miles in Eco, 45,000 in Biz.

Big disadvantages:
1, It works via Almaty only.
2, From Europe, 5 flight/week(LH). From Far East, 1 flight/week(OZ)
3, For most citizen in west countries need Kazakh VISA, if one wants to go outside the airport.

But if you have time, overland to Tashkent and take flight from there using M&M or SAS EB award.
You can do Europe-South East Asia for 50,000 miles/points if you use SAS EB award for intra-asia part.

SAS EuroBous
within Central Asia, Far East or between Central Asia, Far East and South East Asia award: 30,000 miles in Eco, 45,000 in Biz.
