Some more Qs
To answere this question, more information is required.
:-: Where is your basis, from where you will start the Miles Run?
:-: What amount are you willing to spent?
:-: What traval class is the minimum/maximum.
:-: When do you plan to do this miles run? Weekend, during the week?
:-: Can you do several miles runs or do you prefere cleaning it in one go?
:-: Do you have any specific destination or are you open for short term offers?
:-: etc
:-: etc
Based on those answeres, FT can help you. But, as said earlier, miles runs are personal and anyone has to find his personal fit.

Thanks chumbawumba for your advise, of course you are right, my inquiry was a bit naked.
- start/final destination should be Hamburg
- it should be as cheap as possible
- I understand it that business class is a must to achieve enough status miles
- I can do the run during the week or on a weekend, doesn't really matter
- I would prefer to do it in one go, but if 2 are necessary it will be OK
- I don't have a specific destination, just need the miles
I'm afraid that I'm not as professional as many of you here in this fantastic forum, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks again!!

So what you have to do is to buy a return for any weekend. Check the offers a few days before that weekend, create your schedule, fly on the cheap ticket to ZRH, GVA or BSL and continue on these seperate tickets from there.

For you the trick will be: Check the SWISS weekend offers in business in Swiss.com. However, these are only ex-Switzerland Try to get a cheap E-Class return or whatever to the Swiss airport where you can start one of these offers. Your problem will be that you won't get a cheap E-Class into any Swiss Airport the moment Swiss market the cheap weekend returns.

BSL only offers once a day a flight to Zurich in the morning and ex Zurich late night.

Business class
If you prefer sitting "vorne", I recommend you having a look at http://www.vornesitzen.de.
No, I thought it is important to collect miles, not the booking class.

Why? If I get a guaranteed life-time-HON-status, even I would fly FRA-GRU in Economy. Once.
Otherwise: Off-limits
Actually, I have an average ratio of 80EUR/1000 miles this year (includes ATH-FRA-MNL and back in Z for EUR 2085 and some RTF's).
