Just booked AMS-LHR-KUL-BKK and back BKK-LHR-AMS for 1500 E per person. (april) The extra flight KUL-BKK gives us enough TP to get a Gold card. We live a short 2 hours drive from AMS and the price difference with BRU was 500 E per person.Very happy with my booking. So finally Mr and Miss scubadave will be Gold.

If that is the case, the routing does allow LHR-HKG-BKK with HKG-BKK on CX so you might want to change to that for 40 TPs.

exCPH sale seems to match exDUB fares.

Ex-EU to China in WT+ returning to LHR
Flying WT+ to China from BGO returning to LHR is £220 less than starting from LHR: £140 saving on APD and £50 saving on YQ (using the TLNCSALE and TLAPUK9 fares, both to be ticketed by 2 Feb). Returning to BGO the base fare would similar as there is currently not a lot of difference between base T fares from EU starting points. But oddly returning to BGO in this direction would increase the YQ and the total cost (so no incentive to buy a fare where you might drop the last segment!). I have come across this sort of inconsistency in YQ before, which demonstrates that in reality YQ is a fare component, not a fuel surcharge!
The total cost of a WT O fare to China from BGO returning to LHR is £175 less than starting from LHR for similar reasons.
