Visiting every BA station? Sounds like a job for olybeast!

If they did give a discount, what would the price be?

* 50 longhaul destinations at GBP 2k each way for F (CW where F not operated), GBP 200k in total
* 100 shorthaul destinations at GBP 150 each way for CE, GBP 30k in total
* GBP 10k on hotels when overnight stays are required
* Grand total: GBP 240k
* Conclusion: Quite affordable if you are a banker with a bonus!

How many TPs?
* 35 F returns, 360 TPs each, 12,600
* 15 CW returns, 240 TPs each, 3,600
* 90 CE returns, 80 TPs each, 7,200
* 10 domestic returns, 40 TPs each, 400
* Total TPs: 23,800

At GBP 10 per TP, not the best value for money but not too bad either!

You'd obviously want to spread these out over a few years to allow you, once you had reached GGL to then keep GGL the next year etc.
