Trip in First to ORD in the summer. Advice on price, itinerary and TPs

Hi All,

I am planning to go to Chicago in the summer to visit a friend, have a mini holiday and get some Tier Points at the same time.

I have found a good fare out of Inverness and you can see two of the options below. It is possible at JFK, BOS or EWR. If I left with the morning flight out of INV, I’d have the option of an overnight in ATL rather than at LHR.




Could I do better in terms of price and/or TPs? Any recommendations on routing? Transiting through JFK is a bit of a pain, but then I would get access to the CCR on the way back. What should I go for on the outbound?

Anything else I might be missing?
