Looking for possible runs to make SEN, would take place in late Nov or Early Dec. Welcome to ideas, if I need under 30K then I think I might go for it, have to still see how the October flights will pan out.

What if we assume the OP knows it's 5k per RT and plans to book 4 of these to get 20k? Not very cheap, but might be convenient for OP timewise.
Regarding the turnaround jaburu is asking about, I don't know about FCO. I've done 45 minutes between flights in MXP with bus each way.

I was looking for something fast w/o overnight stays

There is a full fare F fare between Korea and China (FRT) with unlimited transfers and stops allowed enroute for about 550$++. I'm sure you can get creative with the routing and trial a few *A carriers F product between ICN and PVG and earn a few status miles on the way.
but from what I can tell this fare is strongly MPM-policed, i.e. my fantasy on routings quickly reaches the fare's limits. Or is there anything I am missing?

Given that there are 7000 award miles more than HON miles- there must be some flying on non-LH group metal as well? I was wondering the same question you were. A round trip to New York in business nets around 20K HON miles max normally.

The companion Z fare as interesting routings available
Transfers play a role:
Just routing it FRA-VIE-JFK yields 24k HON miles for the return, add another xfer in Europe, fly to the southernmost gateway (FRA-VIE-IAD is 25k) and add a F leg (or two) stateside and you easily end up at 29k HON and a few more *A miles.

I can fly on lowest available Y on official trips and I easily spend more time & money ( more like about 3.5k Euros atleast) for getting 35k miles .. All my trips routed between India and Europe ..

Hi oliver,
honestly I do not completely understand what you are writting / how to read the information...
I e.g. do not find how you found the FRA-VIE-JFK solution. Where is it listed? Or does "LH" in the sheets also mean OS/LX?
Would it be possible to use LX for the long longhaul?
Thank you!

The 2 for 1 A380 MUC fare is filed from all German cities to NYC and is valid on the A++ airlines (LH/OS/LX/AC/CO/UA/...) so you can use OS and LX too. @:-)

To get 10k per RT you have to start from outside swiss connecting through swiss (eg. FRA-ZHR-FCO or MUC-ZHR-FCO). With such connections you have to stay at least 2 days too (at least from what i saw till now - looking for some MR through BSL/ZRH for next year too).
Here you get per flight 2000+500 miles - so just 10k miles for the 4 flights.

This is the best for me... in BEG the same plane and only 20 min wait....
