But you could credit to oneworld (maybe BA or Iberia). This deal seems to be more or less over for the moment.

Kenyan business class regionally isn't spectacular. But easy to get 60 XPs for minimal money, especially out of Kigali - possible to get Kigali to Johannesburg (including on the 787) for under $500 return.

Or for a really ridiculous XP run... Not sure I'd want to spend 7 hours in the Entebbe lounge but

Thats on par with the Alitalia business class sales within Europe...around 5 euro per XP. Not bad!

I couldn’t find any of the €185 fares from Hamburg or Hannover to Madrid stated above. Hope other people had more luck!

What on? Alitalia or AirEuropa? Or are you referring to the cheap business fare between FRA and MAD with LATAM Airlines? If the last one, I reckon they have simply sold out for most dates (the ones I was looking at, anyway). The offer will roll around again.

FWIW my SFO-TLV RT got a pretty big 120XP awarded. That CDG-TLV leg was absolutely horrible though.

Yeah, the way back was even more brutal. The 'European business class' layout for 6 hours from 1 AM to 6 AM (Paris time) was... painful. You're basically flying economy.

It's not 6 hours though, the flight is scheduled for 5H5 and is usually a bit shorter.

...plus boarding (Business boards first), plus taxi time at both ends. You're in that seat much longer than only the flying time

Yeah, delays, taxi time, waiting for a gate assignment at CDG, etc. — 5 hours minimum to easily 6+ hours. Whatever way you spin it, it's probably one of the more miserable flights on the network. But, 120XP for SFO-TLV RT.

Well I'm going to have to take it in November, I guess I'll see how I feel about it afterwards
At least, I know exactly what to expect so I can't be disappointed, and I'll have plenty of time to sleep on the next flight.
