I’m trying to combine a couple of trips in October with a small XP run using Flying Blue, and could use some advice since I haven’t planned something like this before.
Current idea
Start: Amsterdam
AMS → (via CDG) → Berlin — stay a few days
BER → (via AMS or CDG) → Prague — stay a few days
PRG → (via CDG) → AMS
Main goal is to pick up some extra XP (and SAF if possible) by adding connections.
Questions
Booking approach
Should I book:
One-way tickets for each leg?
Multi-city itinerary?
Returns stitched together?
Transfers
If routing through hubs like Paris or AMS:
Do I just use transfer desks as normal?
Any issues if flights are on separate tickets?
XP optimization
Is it worth adding extra segments just for XP?
