I’m currently based in YUL, flying to the UK for work before Easter. I have about 4-5 days before flying back to YUL between the end of the UK work trip (April 19th) and the trip back (April 22 or 23). I’m now thinking about using that time constructively for (1) securing silver for another year; and (2) having a city break after a very stressful holiday period, hopefully taking advantage on the current holiday sales.

The required number of TPs is, unhelpfully, 110 (now standing at 490, year ending in July). The least complicated option seems to book a holiday in CE to a higher TP European destination. The trouble is that from the list of destinations the only one that somewhat appeals to me is HEL, and I’m not entirely certain if the weather will be decent in April, and if there’s enough things to do in Hel for 3-4 days. I’d seen some great deals to Vienna, which I’d much rather visit, but then again this will only net me 80 TPs.

Is there anything I’m forgetting, or any creative way of accumulating these extra 110 TPs on those dates and with the good VFM of the current BA holidays sale? Any suggestions and/or creative ideas would be very gratefully welcomed.
