It looks like there might be a good one over at AirEuropa at the moment. Before next Christmas you can book ZRH-MAD-NYC and back for EUR214. Example:
https://flug.idealo.de/flugroute/Zue.../#tinyId=SCMLu
That would yield a sprightly €6.29 per XP, a pretty good rate. Might be worth playing about with flugladen.de to see if the fare is similar, and pick up another €10 cashback. I know UX Economy class is not great, but it will be survivable.

There is currently an Alitalia sale on Premium Economy from Germany to South America. Moreover there is a discount code WARM20DE for 20% discount on the ticket price.
So you can get in Premium Economy from Munich to Buenos Aires and back for 772€ - gains 78XP and 22.500 FB miles (not bad for premium economy)
To Sao Paulo it's even cheaper - roundtrip in PE is 692€ - gives 78XP and 19.300 award miles.

I'm not sure how you reach 78XP. Does Premium Economy credit like Business class? Maybe I am still not completely understanding the XP system. But these Alitalia deals are great to know about, thanks very much, despite my slight apprehension that they might start deciding to cancel tickets if they simply think the price is not high enough (RE the recent BCN-:LAX deal).
A similar offer on Air France from Stuttgart to Tblisi is circulating at the moment, which would also yield 78XP (apparently because TBS is just over the 2,000 mile mark at 2,065 miles). This itinerary would be entirely in Business class, presumably on shorthaul planes.

- > MUC-FCO books into business class -> 15XP
-> FCO-GRU in premium economy -> 24XP
-> GRU-FCO in premium economy -> 24XP
-> FCO-MUC books into business class -> 15XP
in total - 78XP according to Adam Riese
Feeder flights to PE longhaul flights book into business class on AZ - quite generous in regards to the XP earning scheme
award mile-wise AZ is heaven compared to AF/KL where you get around 4000 award miles for a cheapo longhaul business class ticket.

Hmmm, sexy! I'm seeing it for EUR292 there. This might become a default XP run for me, although I am finding getting overland from DUS to BRU a little bit dearer than I expected (with Deutsche Bahn you have to book at least 4 weeks before to get the best prices). Additionally it does not seem possible to avoid the overnight in Rome on the way back. So the extra outlay for the déplacement plus a hotel or two along the way somewhat waters down the value of this deal. But it's still a great one! Hope we find some more going forward!

I am not against Flixbus, but the times to and from Duisburg are in the middle of the night, truly horrible. In the end I booked a train ticket and used a €10 Gutschein from the boxes of Ferrero Duplo and Hanuta chocolate biscuits. In 2nd class with seat reservation using Bahncard25 would have been €36, in 1st class using a Gutschein it came to €39 incl seat reservation. Good price, decent train times, only about 3-4 hours. I will check out Flixbus with connections for the next time.

The E-coupon entered is only valid for:
However, I take these rules in account and still can't seem to use the coupon. Very interesting to fly from Germany to South-America for just €690!
- Journeys made between 28/01/2019 and 01/07/2019, excluding the period from 12/04/2019 to 05/05/2019
- Tickets bought between 18/01/2019 and 21/01/2019

Indeed it is interesting to fly from Germany to South America for that price, I agree. But the travel period is the worst for me, when my head is totally disappearing up my rear end. I can only really start moving towards the end of June, once my main work of the year is over. So I'll have to wait for the next great Alitalia offer. Or plan a visit to Georgia with AF at some point. I do hope Alitalia continues to survive!!
