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.

Starting to look into TP runs for the first time in my life and this thread is incredibly helpful. I tend to have time on my hands at short notice only so planning trips for March 2018 does not work for me.
In your experience, how short in advance can you book to get sub £2 per TP? Can something ever be found at a week’s notice, a month?

You may be picking up some shorthaul CE bookings at shorter notice. That being said, we have seen some fares filed that buck the trend - you just need to jump in when something interesting pops up

It seemed to me that to go west I needed to book weeks ahead. Not something I am able to do either.
I was going to use my week holiday on a long TP run but in the end my priorities changed and I just went for a holiday in the sun instead!
Still hoping to get one or two TP runs in to get to gold but next year now I expect if I can't find anything sooner when I get the time.

LOL!
Not a lot of willingness to help there was there. I know you help others... just wonder what we have done to deserve such a rebuke.
Anyway... enough of this idle chitchat... I am currently in Doha after a failed attempt to book a TP run resulted in me running out of time and so I booked a WT+ fare DOH - LHR and UuA to CW just to get away. When I am back next week I shall stop pestering you and get down to find something on my own.
Last time I ask for help here if that is how we are treated when we do

Saying it's the last time you'll ask for help is just petulance, I'm sure if you do decide to they'll be lots of people still offering help. But I think it helps if you say what you've tried and what isn't working out.

I didn't say he hadn't helped others. Clearly he does generally and that is commendable... I acknowledged that in one of my posts.
He asked me to check out his posting record to confirm his willingness to assist... I didn't have to... I have seen his willingness and when I said that most people were willing to help I had included him in that statement. However, before posting a rebuke to me for asking the question perhaps he should have done the same and looked at my posting history where he would have seen that I am clearly not just asking the question out of laziness. I have been searching and searching, trying to find something suitable... admittedly at short notice and admittedly heading west, but for him to just give me a telling off in that way was totally uncalled for and in my opinion unnecessary.
If he wanted to make the general point that there is an increase in people just wanting others to do the work for them then that may be a valid point and he could have made it in a general way instead of making it a person rebuke... incorrectly in my case.
Internet arguments are never a good idea but when someone tries to give me a dressing down for no valid reason it upset me and made me cross. His point may or may not be valid... I am not experienced enough here to comment... what I do know is that I am not one of those asking others to do the searching without having searched myself into oblivion first. The reason I am not finding anything suitable is either it isn't there, or more likely IMO, my inexperience means I can't find it... hence the request for help.
Yes, I suppose it was petulant of me to say I won't ask for help in the future and I apologise for going off on one over this but before people make those kinds of personal rebukes I suggest they check their facts first... for example: he could have asked what we had already done ourselves to find something and then pointed out ways to improve our chances of finding something thereby helping us to help ourselves... the dressing down was unnecessary.
This is my last post on the issue and yes, I will ask for help when I feel I need it in future... I had just thrown teddy out of the pram. Apologies

Mrs Balf needs 105 TP's for gold. I'm looking at a day trip for her, either LGW-AMS-LHR/LCY-EDI-LGW or LGW-FNC b2b. Both pricing around £525-50 ballpark - I know its not a great £:TP ratio but the amount of grief I am getting, I'm just happy to pay.
Is FNC b2b achievable with 50 min turnaround or should I stick with UK/AMS route mentioned? Has to be same day (any day available), LGW and within next 2 weeks. Thx

Ticket 1: LGW-XXX Saturday, XXX-LGW Sunday
Ticket 2: XXX-LGW Saturday, LGW-XXX Sunday
Ticket 1 in CE would get 80TPs for c. £250, Ticket 2 in mixed class would get minimum 45 TPs.

Yes has to be LGW - we are based 30mins south LGW. LCY/LHR options (although plentiful) just adds to travel time. My gut feeling is LGW-FNC-LGW for ease and 160TP - just need to confirm that the 50 min turnaround is feasible by those that have done it before.

Hi, just trying to plan out our trips and see if we can get to gold at a reasonable cost, suggestions appreciated.
I'm currently on target for 1250tp and missus and youngish son will be on 1280 (1320 if they get a two week grace).
We have to do a positioning to AMS in CE in dec, but I'm not sure if I should buy those outright (£216) or use RFS. If we buy outright, I'll need 170 to reach gold and they'll need 140/100. If not then I'll need 250 and they'll need 220/180.
We have Feb half term left to make a trip to collect the requisite TP. Was thinking perhaps buying AMS in cash and then we could do LHR-MAD-BCN for 120TP which would just tip them over the edge if they got a 2 week extension, but that would leave me 50 short. I could do a quick run somewhere by myself if required.
Or is there another obvious way to get the whole ~250TP in one go at a reasonable price that I've missed? I can't (won't be allowed to) do crazy runs so needs to be reasonably family friendly.
Thanks!

Or is there another obvious way to get the whole ~250TP in one go at a reasonable price that I've missed? I can't (won't be allowed to) do crazy runs so needs to be reasonably family friendly.
Thanks!

I've got a flight from LHR to GAL on Sunday 5th Nov. CE is up to row 8, is this normal for a Sunday flight to GAL?

Sounds like quite a lot but not ridiculous - for such a short flight you probably want to consider siting as close to the front as possible for quicker service! I think NCE/GVA/ZRH take the biscuit usually - 10+ rows of CE is fairly standard on these routes. I had 12 rows on an A319 to BRU recently which was unexpected!

I'm not entirely sure who could benefit from this, but here goes:
IKA-LHR-YYZ/YUL-JFK-LHR-KBP, 1230 GBP for 520 TPs or 2.36 GBP/TP so just squeaks by TP run territory.
Example date Dec 7 - 16. Come visit me!
