This one should be the last — or maybe just one more afterwards?

It’s hard to stop. Since long-haul work travel vanished, XP hunting was a legitimate reason to add extra stops to EU trips… It will feel strange to travel through Europe in 2 hours, non-stop trips.

So will I!

Feel free to DM if you'd like to connect before/during the flight - always happy to meet fellow FTers.

Will be on AF1241 from AMS to CDG afterward on the 19th.

And you'll get to fly with the KRK-run OP

Right, we need some ideas here! Any other potential destinations? Is it better to book for November than October? I will have a look around and report any findings back here.

KRK remains at the lowest price-point. If you don't mind adding a bit more to the budget (excluding pre-post runs and hotels), the following will work for a departure Saturday, return Sunday (do note that you might add hotel nights the day before and the day after):

MXP-GDN @€639 (sample dates: Oct 3/3)
BCN-LPI @€600 (sample dates: Oct 23/24)
FRA-LPI @678 (sample dates: Oct 9/10)
MXP/FRA/LIS-KRS @592-613 (sample dates: Nov 20/21) + opportunity to fly Wideroe - AF-coded, no worries)

Good offers, well worth looking into. Just being lazy, but I am guessing LPI is Linköping in Sweden and KRS is Kristiansand in Norway...
I will dig a bit for UK destinations, because I do have a need to go there, sooner rather than later (at worst, I will just book a normal flight without doing the run).

Obviously depends where and for how long you need to be in the UK, but the following might be interesting (that's the only city pairs I got working with double layover):
LIS-CWL (Cardiff) with double stop-over @600
MXP-NWI (Norwich) with double stop-over @687

Already have my flight from OPO cancelled and rebooked the next day.
Are we agree that i could be rebooked on original day, direct flight to OPO-AMS instead of OPO-CDG-AMS and be credited with original xp by claiming after flights ?

Sounds good. Don't really want to go all the way down to LIS again so anything from MXP would be ok. Could just about work to NWI but HUY or LBA would be better. BRS could be useful too. Will fiddle around with it over the weekend.

Yes, with any luck you'll get credit for both.

I second that. Be prepared to jump through some hoops though, and have some surreal conversations with FB.
Keep all your BPs handy, don’t throw anything away.
