You are quite correct, however the OP seemed to imply they had to travel in advance of the TP cutoff date to give the TPs time to post before the cutoff date. Perhaps I had misread the OP's intention.

Another, slightly cheaper (but more fun!) way to 50TPs. Courtesy of a post this morning on Raffles' blog:
1) Book this (http://www.headforpoints.com/2016/01...usiness-class/) £92 one-way MAD-FRA, on LAN, in Business (787, long-haul flat bed business class, 40TPs)
2) Book two cheap ET one-ways on BA or IB (UK-MAD, FRA-UK) - about £40ish each, 5TPs each.
Et voile - 50TPs for around £170, and you get to try out the LAN long haul business seat.

I clearly have too much time on my hands...
Check out Iberia's site. You could fly on the way out via Madrid in Business to Bilbao with IB and then fly economy back to LHR on the BA direct flight...keenly priced below £200 with 65 tier points.

If LAN use the same terminal at FRA as BA, shouldn't be a problem. I did LHR-FRA-LHR on a BA A380 on a staff standby ticket in 2014 and had plenty of time to get off, check in and go through passport control and security before getting back on the same aircraft. (I know, I'm a saddo).
