Maximising TP's, with the lowest possible cost...?
Hello folks,
I'm new here, so please be gentle!
I am current BAEC Silver, so am obviously mindful that I want to hit my 600 points this year to retain silver.
My next trip at the end of February is:
LHR - MNL
MNL - SYD
SYD - WLG
WLG - LHR
I'll be travelling WT+ for the long hauls & economy for the short hop from SYD - WLG. Can anyone recommend how I can maximise my BA TP's, whicle keeping the cost to under £3k GBP?
I have been offered a routing which starts off with QF32 from LHR - SIN, but looking at ba.com, I suspect I'll be missing around 75 TP's for this leg........

Welcome to FT schmalex. ^
What about a oneworld round the world ticket?
LHR-SFO on BA in WT+: 75TP
SFO-TYO on JL in their premium economy: 75TP
TYO-MNL on JL in either their premium economy or economy cabin: 20TP
MNL-HKG-SIN on CX in economy: 40TP
SIN-SYD on QF in premium economy: 75TP
SYD-WLG on QF: 20TP
WLG-SYD on QF: 20TP
SYD-SIN-LHR on BA in WT+ with a plane change at SIN: 150TP
Total: 475TP.
Alternatively if you do not fancy this be sure to take a plane change or stopover in SIN/BKK for extra TPs (150TPs in total each way). Otherwise you do get reduced TPs (135TPs in total each way).

am i correct in thinking that these fares can only be booked via the BA (or other OW) call centre or via a TA ?
