All on one ticket for €2,650? That gets you 360 TPs.
Add CLT-LAX-SEA for 140+40 and SEA-XXX-IAH for a further 80 and you get to 620. Do this as a separate ticket for roughly $1,600.
You only have two BA-operated flights in there, however, so you may want to book your long hauls on BA codes - which are a little more expensive. Alternatively, positioning flights to DUB and from GOT would get you the required four flights on BA metal/codes.
All of the above book into I class except for the CLT-LAX, which is in D.
The two-ticket solution earns more TPs, and is slightly cheaper, but it can all be done on one ticket with a non-stop to SEA, getting you 580 TPs.
Wao! Thanks
Cymro. I'll book this. Quick question on the return IAH-LHR-GOT. My final destination is LHR, can I stop there?
Also I should add that I've already flown BA metal 4 times this year to Europe so that removes the need for lots of BA codes. I'm thinking to amend your suggestions to be:
1. LHR-DUB-JFK-CLT
2. CLT-SEA and SEA-DFW-IAH
3. IAH-LHR
Is this better booked on the phone to BA or I can book online on BA / AA website. If I can achieve 580 points with £3000, I think that will be a good run
Thanks again!
