Sorry for being a noob -I might have misunderstood the whole point- but are you flying to all those airports (12 segments) for 927 EUR?

Yes, those are the transit points OP will fly. AF doesn't fly to most airports mentioned on the route so OP has to make that many connections or fly codeshare

Am I the only one curious how many EQM/RDM you can get on this fare? I looked at the AF mileage table and it seems Z fare on European flights earns 2.5x EQM's, and you get the minimum 750 miles if the segment flown is less than that. Am I reading this right? So I picked the longest route I can put together: SVG-AMS-CDG-SVO-IKT-SVO-CDG-IST r/t, which earns over 55k EQM's and ~78k RDM if you are Platinum, that's a lot of miles!

This looks to earn good miles on DL, too. Has anyone been able to recreate this for early January on Google Flights?

It happens that my relatives live in Irkutsk and Israel, and I'm based in Amsterdam and I LOVE Norway (which means this trip it just freaking perfect for me). So I booked:
BGO - AMS (stopover) - CDG - SVO - IKT (stopover) - SVO - CDG - IST - CDG - TLV (stopover) - CDG - AMS (stopover) - BGO.
Got ticketed.
CDG-SVO-IKT-SVO-CDG all on SU metal (much better C product than AF).
Booked up to IST in Z, then in D (125% then 150% accrual in Flying Blue).
Ticket total: NOK 7868.00
Thanks OP!

I have always wanted to go to Irkutsk and see Lake Baikal. It also looks like there are short flights to ULN so you can hit Mongolia as well relatively easily to make this even crazier.
