I'm DFW based so every domestic flight now begins with a trip to the DFW FL. There are many ways in which you can take advantage of BAEC's TP metrics to easily procure 450TPs to make you Silver, and therefore eligible for FL access, before the end of the year.
Interesting - you're talking about the FL as opposed to the regular AC. I would definitely make BAEC Silver by year's end. The only thing is - if I wanted to access the FL would I need to have my AA stock recorded with my BAEC number? Because after the first of the year I'd go back to using my AAdvantage number to re-accrue for EXP or PP status again.
guv1976, with regards to Iberia, do they work in Avois like QR so I can transfer Avios to BA? If so, interesting...
Thank again for all the help everyone - really appreciate it!
