And yes ORD is not good. You need to be looking at East coast destinations such as PHL, EWR, JFK, BOS for example. And you can have two transits in the US I think, so another West Coast one is often the choice.
Your current route is 360 TPs. The norm is 40 from DUB then 140 to the East Coast and another 140 to the West. Possibility of another 40 if you fancy it which gives you 360 and the same on return, so 720. Plus positioning flights.
Sometimes routing back to Spain from LHR makes it cheaper - MAD, BCN or AGP are popular choices.
If you post the exact (rough) dates then people on here can tweak it for you?
Ah, that makes sense with the BA holidays not counting from DUB. I did wonder why the TP/£ looked much better than is usually quoted.
Thank you for the response. Its unlikely I'd put together another 780 TP within the year given my travel plans are mainly around Asia, and silver doesn't have that much value, so I think I'll just stick to using the 2-4-1 voucher for this trip instead. 90k Avios & £475 gets me a Y return to LAS from Manchester (my base) with 1 stop, so no need for positioning.
