Post Aeroflot Bonus - any ideas for earning 420 lousy miles?

First of all, a Happy New Year to everyone!

Simple question: I'm only 420 miles short of reaching a certain award on the Aeroflot Bonus Program.
Does anyone of you know an easy way to make a handful of miles? I couldn't find anything on their website - there's not a whole lot of information given there.

Thanks for you help!

Take any flight with any of the SkyTeam airlines. They award a minimum of 500 miles per any segment regardless of actual miles flown. How about VIE-AMS-VIE with KLM or VIE-CDG-VIE with AF? Just make sure you don't book in L, N, G, O, X, F, E classes with AF; and not in V, D, W with KLM.

- rent a car
- stay in a partner hotel
- do a Skyteam Mileage Run out of Vienna, Bratislava or Budapest. Cheapest I could find at first glance was BRA-PRG-CDG, 175 EUR with CSA.

What he said should do it!

Do you have a bday coming up? That's worth 1000 miles.

Which reminds me of SU Xmas bonus (500 miles). Check if you have already got those.
I personally would strongly discourage acquiring miles through SU partners outside of ST; takes forever for these miles to post.

I found an option on KL, VIE-AMS-VIE for €140, but it's indeed a V fare. Are you definitely sure this won't bring me any miles on SU bonus? Even only 50% of the distance miles would be enough.
I couldn't find any information about the mileage for each booking class on other ST carriers. I assume the miles table on their website only refers to flights on SU metal. Is that correct? Where can I find out more about the information you gave me (see quote)?

Anyways, thanks a lot for your help guys!

Nope, there's a separate page for ST partners (a bit tricky to find in that hideous new layout of theirs):
http://eng.aeroflotbonus.ru/partners.aspx?ob_no=114654

And everyone, where are your manners? Welcome to Flyertalk, ViennaWaltz!
