I have 8 American flght segments before then but even at 10 tier points a segment, that won't get me there. Are my only options ...4 more American segments or a flight across the pond on BA to maintain it? Thanks in advance.
Firstly whereabouts in the states are you based?
Your status will remain until 31 May
The best option is to get the 600 tier points between the 8th April and 31 May so you will get 2 years of status.
I would suggest flying in Y to the UK for 2 weeks and do 2 5 day double TP holidays in J to 80 tp destinations that will get you 320 points per trip from LHR. Options such as Sofia and Sicily are good for this.
April post Easter and May aren't school holidays in the UK so should be good bets.
This will get you the 4 BA segment's as well.
