Bella XP Run: NAP/MXP/FCO to BLL: 90 XPs for €528!
Another 90 XP Run , this time from across Italy , over a weekend with no vacation days needed...
This fare is not for most people but it works great for those chasing status with Air France/KLMs Flying Blue program as it gives 90 XPs which is almost enough for Silver status over just one weekend and spending time exploring cities across Europe.
These sample dates are in November over a Saturday/Sunday so no time off from work...

How to book this fare?
A) Search ITA Matrix for valid dates using AF AF AF as parameters
B) Input dates via Multi-City into your favorite online travel agent

When I get a moment, I will have a look to see if it works for a bit more to any Norwegian cities for a bit more. Trondheim and Tromsø would interest me.
For those flying to Billund, don't just stick around Billund if you're not into Lego. Go over to the North Sea coast and drive up it. Wonderful.

In ITA Matrix , add AF AF AF as the variables to show the 6 segment combos: AAL, SVG, TRD, KRS among other destinations...

I am not very good at using Matrix, but what you have found is very interesting. I was also wondering if there was any traction for open jaw itineraries, like out of Italy and in to Germany or similar.

Also available in May/June and Fall from ATH even cheaper, $450 (USD) with one connection and $530 with two connections. Just use Google flights, you don't need the matrix to search. *A has similar fares, they seem to be matching them?

I did a five minute search/analysis using Google Flights it seems that the price for Multi-City goes up significantly...
GVA-BLL-GVA USD 567
GVA-BLL-DUS $956
ITA Matrix needs the advance codes (below city pairs) to specifically mentioned routes or airlines... There is where you put the AF AF AF on the outbound or inbound... I select travel time as 0-1 night to try to keep it as a Mileage Run.
I've seen that the BLL works out almost every country in Europe (I keep posting every few days another country combo, even in Russia or Slovenia). The fare is not cheap as it's €500-600 for a intra-Europe flight in EuroBusiness, the only risk is that they limit to one connection via AMS, but since lots of these flights involve KL/AF metal might be hard for them to just limit one carrier as they share the same "mothership" ala IAG/LH Group..
