You can fly to IKT twice instead of going to TLV.

what is the mileage earning from SVO-IST ? Is it really considered intra-europe?

I am flying DRS - AMS - CDG - ATH - CDG - AMS - IST - AMS - CDG - SVO - IKT - SVO - CDG - AMS - DRS for a grand total of 45475 level miles. TLV instead of ATH should get you even more! Keep in mind, the short flights will get you 750 * 250% = 1875 miles.

Probably many more, I think by now you should've figured the logic where this fare works from.

You can try as well:
from the UK: BFS
from Italy: for about €300 more (ca. €1,100), CTA or CAG

CWL proves to be convenient from CDG with direct and short (1h20) flights operated by BE

Ticketed a CWL-SVO-SVX-ATH-CDG-AGP-CWL on Priceline. Thanks to the OP and other posters ^

I'm loooking at (probably) DRS departure, ATH as endpoint instead of IST and comfortably over 40k miles.

I saw you doing that but doesn't work for me. I need a visa for Russia and most likely will only get a single entry tourist visa.

In this case you could route to FRU the second time. You won't need a visa for an airside transfer in SVO.

It's been discussed. Priceline via Powertools.
Never call the airline in cases like these!

I'm possibly being selfish here but this has been around for a while, everything that needed to be said have been said (and if a rookie like me was able to "get it" just by reading previous posts, anybody can!) a fare seems to be a "permanent" thing, so I kinda hope the thread will soon be buried under the new ones and people will be able to continue to quietly use this fare for the foreseeable future...

Is this too much to ask?

I just hate to see the same posts again and again asking about calling an airline as this will inevitably lead to some lazy person ruining it for everyone as well as themselves.

I finally booked the route after convincing my friend to go along for this crazy ride and following this thread since it started.

AAL - IKT // stopover // IKT - SVO // stopover // SVO - HAM // home base stopover // HAM - TUN // stopover // TUN - AAL. Got it ticketed through the DL website and got a mix of Z and I classes. Adventure starts end of March.

Hi guys,

thanks for sharing this interesting fare. I have one question, as i want to book the following route (iam based in ZRH):

1) SVG - IRK
2) IRK - MAD
3) MAD - FRU
4) FRU - CDG
5) CDG - SVG

Would you think i get in Trouble if I dont take no. 5) CDG - SVG and instead go back to ZRH by Train or by plane (Swiss)? Or is there a Chance they will give me a Penalty / Change fare or anything?

Many thanks
