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.

Some of them are unnecessarily more expensive as the ballpark number should be around £233, I notice some are in £280 region, which suggests he is using AY codes for HEL-TLL that earn less avios and add £50 fuel surcharge onto the price. If you do this look at booking on BA codes and it should come at a cheaper price.

I have just added back in the very keenly priced D-class MH fares between KUL and PEN.
£44 one-way, £80 rtn, lots of availability.
Penang Island Makes a nice day trip (or overnight, or longer) from KL if you happen to be in that part of the world. Back in KL again soon so have booked another short visit
Last time I did this, some points posted quickly, but others took ages to sort out as neither MH nor BA IT are able to cope with the concept of flying the same route twice on one day (as I did
) and it required a lot of manual intervention by various back office bods to get them credited.
P.S. Don't use the taxi desk on arrival and don't take a random cab from outside the terminal - both are terrible value ! Instead, install the Grab app and/or Uber and you'll be able to whistle up a taxi for significantly less...

Have all the cheap PTY runs gone now?
Can't seem to find anything less than £597 from LAX-PTY and £897 from PTY-LAX so 2-3x the previous price for a 1/3 less TP.

AMS to US ILN8S4T1 Fare (also available starting from RTM for £40 less)
Thanks to Pilot37 for spotting this one.
On a quick search of a few US destinations it seems the good fares are not offered for West Coast or Hawaii.
NYC - £1,128
ORD - £1,147
PHL - £1,205
BOS - £1,205
IAD - £1,120
