40XP is 1J+1Y 2-legged flight.
Found these one (inbound J, outbound Y) securing you 40XP (2×15 + 2×5). At basically less than 9€/XP seems to me it s not that expensive... (a bit more than in 2021 when KRK runs would allons you to secure XP @ less than 3€/XP but still a fair price to me.)

Combine this with SAF and you may get to 40 on a single trip depending on the price for full SAF anyway. And if you didn't before, link an All Accor account to FB beforehand, which gives 5XP too.

Unfortunately it smells pretty much like an error fare. Same fare is filed twice, no carrier surcharge in the calculation. Something is messed up - still a good deal that I would try to book for the next days rather than for later this year.

Amazing find. Shame that the positioning flight in Y costs more than the actual thing (if you do it in the next couple of months)

I couldn't resist and paid 5EUR to save the fare until Sunday...

Now i have that much time to either find a decent positioning flight from the UK or give up

Leaning on giving up now. Stupid impulse buying

Cheapest positioning flight (in September) is £250 with AF/KL or £150 with LX or Ryanair. Which turns it into £400 for 80XP

Just need to decide whether I really want a September trip to PMI and TRN that much (I know TRN well and have friends and family there, so at least hotels not a problem).

£400/80 XP is, at £5/XP, a level that was unheard of pre-Covid.

If you are looking for XP, this "error fare" is probably the best you will be able to secure.

These days, 10€ / XP is a rather good price...

Well, KRK runs are still £430/90XP as always, but I suppose it's good to visit other places once in a while.

Sure, if you can get it from your home airport it's very good. Otherwise the positioning fees (+ hotel...) add up, too.
