I’m not far off GGL and have a 3 night US trip coming up and want to see if there are any smart ways of turning it into a BA holiday double point run without staying longer in the US (or actually staying a night elsewhere). I’m happy to do a longer route including Europe stops (Dublin etc) where I can fly home on separate tickets the same day and return at a later date to pick up connecting flights (and pay for car hire or cheap hotels etc via BA holidays).


My “work” route is LHR to ORD 1st and back - covered by work and doubling that up + 2 club Europe trips would get me over the line. As the double TP holiday offer rules say you have to start in the U.K. I can’t do a Dublin start with two stopovers to get to 5 nights for example which would have been ideal.

LHR - DUB - ORD - DUB - LHR would also have been ideal with a few stop overs but I assume that’s not doable as I can’t get the system to do a multi city that way.

hopefully someone who knows much more than I do will have a good idea?

p.s. I’ve got two young kids so trying not to extend the US trip into my weekend if I can help it for those wondering why I don’t just do that.
