For overnight trips remember to check BA and Iberia for their flights and hotel option as well, can get hotel for almost no extra cost at times
Need 80 TPs or less
Club Europe return somewhere close by is best - DUB, AMS and JER usually cheapest. AMS and JER easier than DUB for an immediate turnaround. The BA.com low fare finder can be very useful.
If you need as few as 45 TPs you might consider booking economy flights and hoping for a proactive online upgrade offer - but they're not guaranteed to materialise (so not one if you have no more time left in your TP collection year)
Or a slightly more interesting fun run
Need 85-120 TPs
Iberia flights via MAD to regional Spanish airports will get you 120 TPs as the domestic Spanish flights are 20 TPs in business. Under £300 including hotel can be available. Check BIO, GRX, VLC, BCN, SVQ etc. Example here
Need 125-160 TPs
Take a look at the shorthaul plus routes earning 80 TPs each way in business listed in the first post (here) MLA, IST, HEL and RAK are usually available. If time sensitive take a look at BA flight and hotel option to HEL, where you can usually get the last BA flight out on a Saturday, airport hotel and first return Sunday for well under £500.
Alternative options include positioning to JER and flying JER-LGW-XXX (AMS usually works well and avoids switching airports)
Need more than 160 TPs
You'll most likely be heading north then - OSL or VLL via HEL will get you 240 TPs, as will JER-LGW/LHR-HEL e.g. LHR-HEL-OSL for £520

Need a year-end TP run (ex-LON) to make / retain status?
Some tips for searching for the year-end TP run for newcomers, the below is indicative only, but hopefully provides a bit of guidance for relatively straightforward runs ex-LON. Prospero's guide to using ITA matrix in post 3 (here along with these ideas, might come in handy. Feel free to share results, problems or general questions in the thread as these may not always work and there might be better deals out there...
For overnight trips remember to check BA and Iberia for their flights and hotel option as well, can get hotel for almost no extra cost at times
Need 80 TPs or less
Club Europe return somewhere close by is best - DUB, AMS and JER usually cheapest. AMS and JER easier than DUB for an immediate turnaround. The BA.com low fare finder can be very useful.
If you need as few as 45 TPs you might consider booking economy flights and hoping for a proactive online upgrade offer - but they're not guaranteed to materialise (so not one if you have no more time left in your TP collection year)
Or a slightly more interesting fun run
Need 85-120 TPs
Iberia flights via MAD to regional Spanish airports will get you 120 TPs as the domestic Spanish flights are 20 TPs in business. Under £300 including hotel can be available. Check BIO, GRX, VLC, BCN, SVQ etc. Example here
Need 125-160 TPs
Take a look at the shorthaul plus routes earning 80 TPs each way in business listed in the first post (here) MLA, IST, HEL and RAK are usually available. If time sensitive take a look at BA flight and hotel option to HEL, where you can usually get the last BA flight out on a Saturday, airport hotel and first return Sunday for well under £500.
Alternative options include positioning to JER and flying JER-LGW-XXX (AMS usually works well and avoids switching airports)
Need more than 160 TPs
You'll most likely be heading north then - OSL or VLL via HEL will get you 240 TPs, as will JER-LGW/LHR-HEL e.g. LHR-HEL-OSL for £520

In case someone can find this useful, I found an I0SALE from BRU valid for travels between 01 JUL - 31 AUG 2015. Tickets must be issued before/on 31 March.
Minimun stay "TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE OF THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR."
So far I found (on ITA) in July:
MIA from 1600 eur
LAX from 1700 eur
SFO from 1700 eur
HNL from 1850 eur

In case someone can find this useful, I found an I0SALE from BRU valid for travels between 01 JUL - 31 AUG 2015. Tickets must be issued before/on 31 March.

Nice find there Lefly! ^
One of AY's BRU-HEL flights on Thursdays is operated with a 343 (due to high cargo demand to BRU IIRC) - I took that flight last August and I was on one of the refurbished aircraft with the staggered seats. It was lovely to have a flat bed on an intra-European flight!

Nice!
I can see on Google Flights UA has matched as well for BRU-HNL.
@teledude, do you example dates/routing for the instant gold via HEL? Can't seem to get it priced on ITA.

And for LCY-JFK you don't put SNN in the routing codes. As long as you uncheck "allow airport changes" searching on LCY-JFK will bring up BA1-4 and not include any LHR options.

On a much simpler, cheaper, and smaller scale: I managed to get KUL - HKT for £133 in Z on MH, for three nights in July with a Saturday stopover.
That does earn tier points, in fact 80 of them, at £1.66/TP and basically no extra over the cheapest mileage earning economy fare with baggage.

TP Run ex-SAN/LAX/LAS/PHX
Hello, TP wizards.
Requesting some assistance for an ex-SAN, LAX, LAS, PHX run to net 585 TP.
Depart tomorrow March 27th. Same day turn preferred.
If you can suggest a route, I would be grateful.
No need to spell out the routing, just destination.
Thanks in advance!
