Thanks everyone. Not much room left for reindeer now:
I think that the secret to getting multiple flags is finding links that don't repeat a country/language combination you've already used. So if your HON flag came via a URL that includes "UK_en" you can't use that combination again. Ones that worked for me included "CH_de", "DE_de" and DE_en" (and then NewbieRunner's "UK_en" HON link to complete the set).
Just changing the country/language bit won't work: you need to follow a full working link, all of which are now to be found above.

Interestingly, when I first checked, I had my location set to UK and got the FTL flag. Then I logged out and back in with my home location (Egypt) and got the SEN flag. I then tried various different locations but didn't get the two missing flags (it kept on showing the SEN flag only) until I tried oliver2002 and NewbieRunner's links respectively.

Don't think so. Compare these two links here:
The Swiss SEN flag from Fotti: http://www.lufthansa-promotion.de/cl...de_SEN%20Fahne
The German SEN flag I found in my own MM site: http://www.lufthansa-promotion.de/cl...en_SEN%20Fahne
Same item ai, same cid, same lid just a different sub string...

Having travelled through several European countries I now have 3 reindeer, 4 flags and a gold/silver headband. ^

I'm not entirely sure how it really works, though. UK_en got me FTL, EG_en got me SEN, DE_de got me Blue - and then NewbieRunner's link (again, UK_en) got me the HON flag. Everything else I tried inbetween only got me SEN, which I already had at that point (and an error message when I tried anyway).
