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.

TLL routing
Is it possible to a run to TLL, but break the journey on the way back to avoid the v early start to get on the A350 and/or have a bit longer in HEL?
i.e.
Outbound Day 1 GLA-LHR, LHR-HEL, HEL-TLL
Inbound Day 1 TLL-HEL
Inbound Day 2 HEL-LHR, LHR GLA
This could be part of a nested flight. I just can't seem to get it to price on google, ITA or BA
i.e.
Outbound Day 1 GLA-LHR, LHR-HEL, HEL-TLL
Inbound Day 1 TLL-HEL
Inbound Day 2 HEL-LHR, LHR GLA

I was able to get this to price up on Matrix for November/December about 2 weeks ago - leaving late afternoon from Tallinn and getting a next day connection. From memory I found it by using the time bars and selecting "display all" - doing it one page at a time would have taken ages, as those connections were near the bottom. Will give this another shot soon - what dates were you thinking?

I managed to do the 2135 TLL-HEL AY116 connecting to the morning A350 flight the next morning earlier on this year. I had to force ITA to offer this by specifying the inbound flight numbers in the advanced routing, and this then offered it happily. Can't remember who I booked it with, but think that one had to use bookwithmatrix to force it through as I couldn't persuade it through with an OTA directly.

Can you guys think of anything I could do in a day from ABZ in April or early May?
I could possibly manage an ATH arriving at 0225 and departing at 0805 the same morning. Would tht be a problem with immigration there?

Immigration will be fine, however if you intend to spend the night in the airport the Greeks are notoriously against sleeping whilst airside - http://www.sleepinginairports.net/europe/athens.htm

If im being honest, i dont value Gold enough to go out my way to hop about Europe. Ive always obtained it by doing longer haul and working it in with holidays and 7-10-14 night stays with potential trips in between a longer break.
I like having it, but the thought of spending £1200 to fly through Finland, Estonia and Shetland Islands...... nope.

GGL is more of a person question, but personally I wouldn't spend £1200 to maintain it.

Hello Flyertalkers,
I have found a fare for a trip to SFO this summer and have tried to tier point optimise the routing for as many tp's as possible. I have attached a link to google flights but I am hoping that this route can gain more tp's.

They'll extend by two weeks as a matter of course if you need it to make Bronze, Silver or Gold - just phone up after the flights have posted to your account and ask them to make the adjustment.
Given that, your cut off for earning will be the 22nd - will you be returning from your MSP/ORD trip before then? More generally, it'd be helpful to know when you need to be in each city and how much time you have available for unnecessary flying in between.

Can anyone help with a spot if advise. I can be a little flexible on dates but tp Year runs to 8 June. Thanks in advance

having trouble getting the ex Dub - USA sale fare to price correctly before it expires tomorrow. Google flights isn't showing me the flights I want, ITA matrix is, but using bookwithmatrix it keeps changing the price when going through to AA or priceline.
I'm flexible with dates so have tried adjusting them a bit but it's the same for every date I try so wondering if there's something with the fare or route that I'm not picking up on.
The route is DUB-LHR-MIA-TPA-MIA-LHR//LCY-DUB
Matrix gives me plenty of options and codeshares at the price I want of 1380 euros, but as mentioned before this is going up to $1739 when using bookwithmatrix. Any ideas or tips for getting somewhere to price this and ticket it as shown in matrix?

I'm flexible with dates so have tried adjusting them a bit but it's the same for every date I try so wondering if there's something with the fare or route that I'm not picking up on.
The route is DUB-LHR-MIA-TPA-MIA-LHR//LCY-DUB
Matrix gives me plenty of options and codeshares at the price I want of 1380 euros, but as mentioned before this is going up to $1739 when using bookwithmatrix. Any ideas or tips for getting somewhere to price this and ticket it as shown in matrix?

having trouble getting the ex Dub - USA sale fare to price correctly before it expires tomorrow. Google flights isn't showing me the flights I want, ITA matrix is, but using bookwithmatrix it keeps changing the price when going through to AA or priceline.
I'm flexible with dates so have tried adjusting them a bit but it's the same for every date I try so wondering if there's something with the fare or route that I'm not picking up on.
