I've found a very good deal, which isn't for me as i'm waiting for my new collection year and don't fancy the destination. So, thought i'd share it on here.

JER-LGW-SSH-LGW-JER (J/I/I/J) for £335, 360TP @ £0.93 per TP
Outbound 29/11/15
Inbound 7/12/15

It is a week in SSH with layovers in LGW. There are some better options up to £400.
Another build on the SSH run is possibly nesting the reverse route to LGW inside this, on the same days. This would avoid hotel stays in SSH, break it over two days and give enough TP for silver. Not sure whether the 1 hour turnaround in SSH is realistic or not though?

Current Example on ITA
JER-LGW 5/5/16 J 07:05 to 08:00 Nest 1
LGW-SSH 5/5/16 I 09:15 to 16:35 Nest 1
SSH-LGW 5/5/16 I 17:30 to 21:15 Nest 2
LGW-SSH 9/5/16 I 09:15 to 16:35 Nest 2
SSH-LGW 9/5/16 I 17:30 to 21:15 Nest 1

Nest 1 £305 40+140+140 = 320TP
Nest 2 £389 140+140 = 280TP
Total £694 600TP £1.16 per TP

I would do this if I could, but can't at the moment. Let me know if you go for it?
