At least that gets me the TPs for First on the return leg (210+60) but on the outbound leg the only option is the direct flight which gets just 140 TPs and so loses me 130. I can't take an earlier BA flight from LHR as the flight from TLV doesn't arrive in time ... I have also tried SFO and LAS instead of LAX, but nothing doing.

You're on a TLV-LAX fare I presume, so doubt you can change LAX to SFO or anywhere else.

What about AA/US flights ex-LHR - don't confine yourself to just BA with the JBA on transatlantic.

For TPs you want TLV-LHR-East Coast-LAX I presume, what about flights to BOS, IAD, MIA, PHL etc. on the outbound?
