Thanks! If only I was in London right now...shame there's not too many options to get 160 TP's from Madrid as there are from London.
Ideally I'm looking for 3rd Jan onwards, up until the 18th or so (a day trip or 1 night stay, otherwise I'll just rack up costs on hotels)

Apparently according to some Googling you need to be careful to book it via Iberia or BA and not Iberia Express direct - they will give you a cheaper flight cost but you won't get tier points if you book it Iberia Express.
Thanks! Wouldn't have thought of this. Comparable to the BAH deal from London to Malta price wise too.
Part of me is questioning if I should even bother running for Silver again, or just tap a Double TP deal on BAH when its cheaper and upgrade back to Silver somewhere in the year. All options I'm looking at add up to about 500 or so (give or take, with a hotel night stay for example).
40TP flights may work too, if I have an indirect return route, which still adds up to 160TP - can't find these yet!
