I have just started flying BA again and would like to get my status started. I am based in southern California and now have freedom to make my own travel plans.

First my rather embarrassing 235 TPs need 65 adding to get bronze, what is the easiest and most cost effective way to do this from southern California? I have just looked at flights to SEA and SFO and neither appear to earn me any TPs.

Then how to get to silver? I will need to travel to the UK/Europe next month, any recommendations of how to use this trip to get silver?


Thanks
