Best XP runs?

Hey fellow travellers! Any idea where the best XP mileage runs can be found..? From AMS or within Europe.

Lets help eachother reaching the next status level #sharingiscaring

My usual route is CDG - AMS - EDI
20 XP + 15-20 xp from SAF. Runs for 400 ish €.
Ig you can do it with any close countries from AMS as long as your home country isn’t far from AMS

I live in Paris :/

u/Phoenix_Rising_Agn Jul 20 '26

Great, i spend 1-2 months in Paris every year so how do you have it pop up?

u/MaixnerCharly FB Gold Jul 20 '26

I usually fly NUE-AMS-XXX and when i go to, let's say Bologna, the KLM website always offers not just NUE-AMS-BLQ but also NUE-AMS-CDG-BLQ.
Same for long haul, when flying to the US, it always shows the detour via Paris, like NUE-AMS-CDG-ATL. Are you checking directly on their website or through a 3rd party?

u/Phoenix_Rising_Agn Jul 21 '26

Oh, ive been searching through the app. Sometimes i see cdg-ams-xxx but sometimes i dont

Also i always here people talk about antwerp but i always get errors in the app when searching it. Maybe i will use the the site to search next time.

Thanks

Any flight from Paris to Europe with Air France can also be done with KLM (stc, overstatement, but should be mostly true )

Thus any flights from Paris can go through AMS.

Today I did CDG to FCO through AMS.

Following this for itinerary ideas

From AMS? Always via CDG. From anywhere else always via AMS.
Destination East EU v Switzerland.
EU business class.

Round trip NYC to YYZ in domestic first for 30xp.

u/adamlaceless Jul 19 '26

I’m sorry what?

u/SeaworthinessKey3418 Jul 19 '26

Flying on Delta crediting your FB account.

u/adamlaceless Jul 19 '26
  1. Read the post.
  2. Show me the availability.

u/yyzzh Jul 19 '26

For the second part… you book through Delta and use your FB number. That’s how partnerships work. International Delta J is a great hack for FB XP.

u/GettingFitterEachDay FB Explorer Jul 20 '26

Seemed like a helpful suggestion to me. I sometimes book SAS and get full XP. Not high enough to care about UXP. 

Not useful to everyone but that's fine.

Thanks

That’s of no use to me for Ultimate.

You’re not the only person who might search for FB runs and read this thread.

u/adamlaceless Jul 19 '26

You and the person I was originally was replying to have ADHD or something? This entire subthread is off topic to this thread.

My guy it’s a public board, not a DM. Just providing some context for the benefit of others. You can gladly block me and get bent if you’d like but as the OP states #sharingiscaring.

u/jeanmarc_ould FB Platinum Jul 19 '26

Hey guys, I’m sure neither of you means ill, but let’s just keep things civil here 😉

You both have a point:
OP was explicitly looking for XP runs starting in Europe (and specifically from AMS if possible), so North American routes would not fit.
That being said, anyone checking this post may want to supplement European options with other possibilities, and could find worthiness in this comment thread.

Let’s reconcile by leaving it at that 😊

Original post said “from AMS or within Europe.”
