This thread is a continuation of the hugely popular BA Tier Point runs 2024 thread. This is intended to be a starting point for finding key origin and destinations to tailor your tier point runs, but you will still need to do some leg work to find the correct dates and flights. Also, don't forget that with some of these fares there will be positioning and other costs associated to get to the start of the tier point run.

****Changes from 1 April 2025****
As announced earlier in 2024, all membership years will be aligned and will run 1 April to 31 March. This takes effect from 1 April 2025. More details can be found here
BA ANNOUNCEMENT : all Tier Point collection years to start 1st April

More significantly, as announced on 30 December, BA is moving to revenue based tier points from 1 April 2025. Essentially for flights beyond that date, you will get 1 tier point per £1 of spend (base fare and carrier surcharge). This means that this thread will become redundant on that date. However, there are still people looking to earn tier points between now and 31 March 2025 to lock in a particular status level, or even lifetime status. So for now the thread provides a place to discuss TP runs as earned under the existing rules.

For more information on the changes to revenue based tier points, please refer to the dedicated thread here BA ANNOUNCEMENT - BA to move to a spend based Tier Point system From 1st April 2025

Other FT threads/boards to watch & external sites
The TP run thread is often a place where good fares are posted aimed at good TP earning. However, it isn’t the only place on FT where such fares are discussed. Here are some other threads/boards you may wish to subscribe to which all relate to good fares.

One other invaluable website is Expert Flyer. You can subscribe to the site relatively cheaply and the amount of useful information on there (MCTs, flight loads, fare rules etc.) which will certainly be very helpful if you are regularly looking at booking trips and maximising TPs.
