None, but could be just me - has been a few times before! 
Loads in May though.
Looking at options of getting to Zurich. RFS isn't available on my preferred day (and sold out for cash in ET except for close to £600 for CE) and don't really want to pay £100+ / blow 30,000 points for a hotel in Zurich if I can get away with it.
Could try the 45 min back-to-back but seems tight and risky from what I've read.
Failing that, perhaps using the 777 instead of the A380 on the outbound gives some leeway.

AMS-LHR-JFK-PHX-IAH-PHX-JFK-LHR-CDG is what I've got. If you want to add more, you can also route via DUB and/or MAN for an additional 40 or 20 respectively.

The Swiss WTP fare can be 277CHF cheaper for 40k Avios. Assuming you'll earning 50k-ish on the 3x Promo, I'm thinking of throwing a Joker and a GUF at it to make the total cost around £250 return, I'll be in CE/CW and when the miles post I'll be 10k-ish Avios better off, plus 210 TPs.
Unless my maths is off?

I have something like 14236 Avios earned + 100% bonus = 28572.
3 x base of 14236 = 42828 Avios + 14236 bonus (if gold) = 57064 Avios
May lose 3000 or so if I accidently miss my LHR-ZRH/GVA flight.....

I've just booked it. Only used 11500 Avios for a 101CHF discount in the end. Now I'll GUF and Joker it.
