30JUL | £0.93/TP | £335 | 360 | JER-LGW-SSH-LGW-JER | J/I/I/J | ba.com

Is the general Idea to just airport hop and upon completion of the journey you will amount the indicated points?

Are these individual flights booked or some kind of multi flight journeys booked together?

is the above formula based on economy class?

i would appreciate help whats so ever as i was planning to build it via work and long winded process, but by finding this it seems there is a faster way.

What i suppose i dont understand on above is how can it be so cheap to gain so many points?


I am from Scotland UK so if anyone is aware of trips that include departure and return on this it would be great

thanks

Hi vxc and welcome. I am sure someone will help with more information to answer your queries soon - and in the meantime please read the reference posts at the start of the thread which should give you some information.

I just wanted to post to say well spotted on a run I really should have taken out of the wiki when I updated it. LGW-SSH was 140 TPs each way in CE but is now 8o TPs, and in any case the route has been suspended for several months now with no clear re-start date.
