Smile My First Attempt At TP RUN (LHR-BOS-PHX-BOS-LHR)

I'm travelling to Boston 1st weekend in June. My company will only pay economy, so I'm either looking to upgrade myself to Club World or First and then potentially do a TP run in the US (BOS to PHX) while I'm Stateside. I fly out on Friday 2nd June and need to be working in Boston on Tuesday 6th, so I figured this gives me Sat/Sun/Mon to do a TP run.

I've read multiple posts in this thread and figured I'll earn something like this for my stateside TP run (+ whatever I earn on the flights between LHR and BOS, TBC):

Day Date Depart Arrive Flight From To Flight Time GBP USD Points
Saturday 3rd June 16:30 19:11 AA452 BOS PHX 05:41 £960.00 $1,239.00 140
Saturday 3rd June 21:55 05:47 AA1280 PHX JFK 04:52 £1,115.00 $1,439.00 140
Sunday 4th June 16:29 19:03 AA1587 JFK PHX 05:34 - - 140
Monday 5th June 12:30 20:32 AA2189 PHX BOS 05:02 - - 140

I'm going to lose my silver status on May 8th as I only have 115 TP's this year and I don't have time (or funds) to do a TP run before my year-end. I haven't booked yet, but I'm hoping there may be a sale coming over the next few weeks, otherwise, it's going to cost me a few quid.

Any tips/advice before I book?
