Just to add that if you do decide to book a cheap return somewhere be careful not to book booking classes Q, O, or G as they would only earn 5 TPs each way on domestic or shorthaul routes. SHorthaul+ routes in those booking classes would be fine though and get 10 TPs each way. There is a list of shorthaul+ routes towards the bottom of the wiki in this thread.
