I turned first to ITAMatrix to try and find a decent TP run, obviously somewhat challenging at rather short notice - does anyone have any bright ideas for interesting places/fares for the details below ?????


Positioning ex CAI, AMM, IST or DOH is do-able. DXB less so

Outbound dates 24/25 June

Inbound 28/29 June

Budget - not hugely relevant (more a question of being time-poor, and needing a break from this environment!)

Already renewed my Gold exec club membership for the year - heading toward the 2500 TP threshold

Generally a J or F purchaser - more interested in arriving than travelling

Secure in the knowledge that there are far, far greater minds here than mine, with experience of crafting imaginative TP runs at short notice, I thought I'd seek some advice and guidance from all you intellectual colossi populating this thread........ Looking for inspiration - all ideas gratefully received !
