Try cities that are operated by KLM and not AF, that seems to be the trick.. In Sweden those are Linkoping City Airport (LPI) and Vaxjo Smaland (VXO) , both allow you to have 90 XPs and 6 segments in a weekend from DUS...

I use Google Flights map-search by writing "Europe" in the arrival. From DUS this is my suggestions (DUS-AMS-CDG-XXX-AMS-CDG-DUS) for around €500 depending on dates:
Oslo TRF
Linkoping
Vaxjo
Billund
Bergen
Stavanger
Trondheim
Alesund
Kristiansand
Alborg
Inverness
Bristol
Graz
Gdansk
Etc etc
If you cant book on AF:s website, just call Air France insted. They helped me quick.

Shouldn't it be DUS-CDG-AMS-XXX on the outbound? I seem to recall searching by going through AMS first then CDG and found it didn't work. Maybe it depends on the destination.

But if you do a XP-run you can just stay one night in Sandefjord. Its a really beautiful part of Norway and Sandefjord got some nice hotels for example a Clarion Collection. No need to go in to Oslo.

Hey guys, I tried experimenting based on your suggestion. I have a one way flight to Berlin on the 8th August so I was hoping to buy a return flight via DUS and then return in November with the same route. I came up with this. Any suggestions on how to improve it to maximise the miles? It would be great if I can come from Berlin but it does not go under 500 EUR.

I’m really struggling to work out how to get any prices for a 3 hop trip to Anywhere in Europe from Newcastle. £380 for a Business return to Düsseldorf is the cheapest return via AMS, bro if I add in CDG, or go via CDG initially then add in AMS the flight is £5,400
