It looks like this year I'm already going to have 3,500 TPs, so I'm thinking of doing something to get me to GGL (mainly for the jokers, the Hilton Diamond status, and it's closer to GFL)
Hi Lucanesque. The tier point run I booked (thanks to this forum and particularly the members I mentioned) was OTP-LHR-HEL-LHR-JFK-PHX-JFK-LHR-HEL-LHR-OTP, but since I'm based in London, I ditched the last leg. The initial LHR to OTP was a positioning flight on a separate booking.
I think the times work such that you could do OTP-LHR-HEL-LHR-
JFK-LAX-PHX-LAX-JFK-LHR-HEL-LHR-OTP for two extra legs. You'd arrive into PHX ate 23:00 and leave again at 06:00. I haven't confirmed this, but it might be possible.
