Hence, following what people have said on here, I tried a few of the standard "tie run" options (ex-EU to NA). Unfortunately, the cheapest one I'm getting is IST-LHR-JFK/EWR for around £1600 on the 8th-11th June. I have seen people on here talk about much cheaper tier runs, for more points. Could you please share some tips and tricks on how to search for the lower ones? Or if anyone has found some trips for this summer, I would also be very grateful to hear them!
Thanks in advance!
Perhaps consider doing OSL-HEL-AGP return. A lot of availability throughout the next couple of months at c.£545. This would net you 360tps. The positioning flights to/from OSL would get you the extra 10tps on top.
You can also start from ARN or GOT for roughly the same price.
Example
