Maybe have a look here: Segment run from Hamburg in 36 hours
As there is no promo with 4x going on anymore it has become more difficult and a long haul might be a better bet.
Tap to North or South America yields around 20k miles and can be booked rather cheaply in Business sometimes.
You could also go for a LH/LX First Class partner sale, which can also be a "cheap" way to get a lot of miles, but I'm not sure when and if there even is a sale coming anytime soon.

Kind of same situation, except my status expire end May. It has not been easy years for travelling. I have around 20K points, I am Diamond, but understand SAS is not granting the half way there points to people with expiry in May. I am also 7 years into lifetime gold, so if they would at least extend that, but doesnt seem like much grace.....
Any ideas?

Albeit not ideal, at least this makes sense, was crazy to go from free renewal, to 50 % of target to 0 % in such a short time, when everyone have faced same issue.
At least now a chance to renew.
