Thank you SavvyTravel, that was very insightful. I currently have 120 TP from 4 BA flights so only need a further 480 to hit Silver. So from what you have said about LHR-(OSL/CPH/ARN) gives 240 TPs, I could simply do 2 of those to get my 480 instead of the OSL-AGP run. That would probably work best for me as I won't have to wrangle with a separate "wrap-around" flight to position in OSL for it. So you stated, the business flights are a more simpler offering but you said the A350 AY flight was nice. Does that mean it is better than the other flights which I see are the A319, A320 and Embracer 190? Am i understanding correctly that even though these are business class flights, you do not get lounge access at any of the airports the flights use? Thanks again
Of course you can! Sounds sensible to me.

The AY A350 is a proper business class plane. Big seat (some people don’t like it), entertainment and a feeling of space. Significantly better than any of the narrow bodied planes - of which the E190 is IMHO the best option if you have a choice. But frankly all these are all busses on a 90 minute hop.

if you choose wisely you’ll also get to see lovely cities too. But what am saying? Set up a TP run to actually enjoy your destination?; and at a price that is north of £2/TP? Heresy 😀
