Travelling more frequently now for work, I seem to spend more time in BA lounges than my own lounge due to regular delays on domestic flights! but little choice with my new job.

My Membership Year end is December, based on my current usage; estimate I will be 300 TPs short of Gold. I have raced through the Tier levels since late August by adding 160 pts per month. I had a trip to Toyko planned (but may not come off) I would have to persuade them to extend my year end finish by 2 days, or do a TP run in say Europe?

Planned couple of longer trips next year and using BA each domestically in UK week for new job. Lounge access and status helps with the delays. used BA for years but never had status (my Aunt was a Cabin Director used staff scheme).

Suggestions welcome? @:-)
