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.

I would say it's possible but you need to be able to run and not have luggage (even hand luggage, so you an sprint through security check). Gate 42 is the furthest from the piers at T3 and the A350 AY uses it occasionally and it would take you good 10 mins to get to flight connections from there, 3 mins through the scanners, 10 mins running back to gate. Very tight but doable, as most AY have turnaround time of 55-70 mins.
Planning on having nothing more than my phone, wallet and a good pair of running legs.
Stupidity to try it or worth a gamble?

I'm looking at turning around AY831 landing @ T3 09:10 with AY832 departing T3 @ 10:20 which gives me 5 hours in a bed on the A350 and a theoretical 70 min turnaround.

My biggest worry is how many nested flights I've got together. If I try for 8 back to back and this happens on day 2 then potentially I've missed 7 return flights 
I think it's do-able though, going to price it all up later. Sensible thing would be to break into 2 trips each over 4 nights.
3 years since I've done this and I'm a bit rusty, do codeshare flights earn Avios as if they are BA metal? Also do codeshares count as the 4 BA sectors required for status ot do these have to be on BA metal?

If you have 8 booked I would be interested to see how many you make. I suspect you will have at least 1, possibly more, T3 b2b failures.
Flights earn generally based on the code you book under, so a BA codeshare on AY earns per the BA earning table.
A booked BA codeshare on any operating carrier counts as an eligible flight towards the 4 you need.

Also bear in mind you do not have 70 minutes. It seems AY advertise the gate closes at 15 minutes to go. They may possibly wait until 10 minutes in practice (not sure on that).

If it goes wrong, then who knows where I'll end up, and how many sectors I will actually fly, but an experiences nonetheless

I can't see it on BA website ( no surprise there!), so rang BA and quoted all the information. Lady can only get it to price into fully flexible and an eye popping £2000 or so. She has sent it to sales to quote, but has ITA got this entirely wrong, or is there something major I'm missing?

I have 3 nested bookings - so 12 sectors in total:
Friday - LHR-HEL-TLL
Saturday - TLL-HEL-LHR-HEL-TLL
Sunday - TLL-HEL-LHR-HEL-TLL-HEL-LHR
(includes 2x B2Bs at LHR T3 on A350)
If it goes wrong, then who knows where I'll end up, and how many sectors I will actually fly, but an experiences nonetheless

There's actually a pretty good chance of getting a same day Avios flight to reposition back to HEL/TLL if that helps catch another connection.
You need an odd number of returns pivoted around a Sat night in order to make the fares work and 2 turnarounds is a sensible way to limit missed connections having a knock on effect.
I think I'm going to try 3 of these for 1800TP's. Not that it's worth much but triple avios on base points if flown prior to march 31st for 8 sectors as well. "Easiest" way to gold from London that I've seen for some time.
Here's hoping for something quite tasty to emerge to HNL or on qatar, looking for an excuse to go for GGL again

Amex travel is your friend for these fares to TLL - it priced up straight away for me and is bookable online:
