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. The guide to using ITA matrix in post #4 (see 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 fewer
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). Alternatively, booking a return to one of the 40 tier point destinations with one way in CE and the return in ET (or vice versa if cheaper). Bilbao, Jersey and Amsterdam seems the most cost effective for this.
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 VNO via HEL will get you 240 TPs, as will JER-LGW/LHR-HEL e.g. LHR-HEL-OSL for £520. Also the BA fare for LHR-HEL-TLL at ~£235 is still available and would get 200 TPs for a return.

Adding a sector to TLL run
So I'm hoping to do a LHr-hel- TLL-hel-lhr run. I can see the fare available on BA.com in J, with BA flight no's (code share on Fin air metal). Now the LHr-hel departure is at 1040am. I have not booked as of yet.
However I am based in BCN, and i want to book the 7am BCN -LHR BA flight, in Y, that gets me toLHR around 830am. My question is,
1. is there a way to book all this on one PNR? Mainly i want to be protected if the BA flight from here is delayed. Bcn-lhr (discounted Y)- hel-tll-hel-lhr . Lhr-bcn return will be on vueling separate.
2. Would they do a mixed class? Discounted Y to J for the LhR-tll run. BA are a pain in my previous experience.
Thanks.

AA INN0R4Z1 ZRH/GVA to US - ~£1,100 in J
As reported by mikeyfly here, a decent AA fare from ZRH/GVA to the US.
Example prices from ZRH:
BOS - £1,026
ORD - £1,036
MIA - £1,026
SFO - £1,137
LAX - £1,136
This does not seem to cover all US destinations, and definitely doesn't include Hawaii.
Routings such as ZRH-MAD-MIA-LAX-SFO-LAX-PHL-MAD-GVA may be possible giving 720 TPs. For a list of > 2,000 mile routes which earn 140 TPs is in post #2 of this thread.
Note that the routing via HEL and on to JFK is not possible since the fare rules only allow routing on the TATL on AA operated flights and AA does not fly to HEL.
EDIT: even though the fare rules states the TATL should be AA operated, it seems AA markted is allowed so routing ZRH-HEL-US booking AY operated TATL under the AA codeshare should be possible as shown here.
No travel period restrictions.
