As an aside, I booked SFO-LHR on IB, via a codeshare on AA to JFK, then IB metal via MAD, for 120 + 120 + 40 TP = 280TP one way, for half the price of the non-stop BA fare which earns you 120TP.

James S - thanks very good planning to get 280 points one way. How did you find IB service compared to BA?
