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.

Haven't booked a ticket. Was tempted to join nufnuf77 and others, but availability dried up for the flights I wanted when I was able to book - so that would be 12 Aug for CAI. If availability doesn't came back soon, then I'll post pone it till my next BA year (which starts 8th Dec).

Hi all,
I need to be in NYC the evening of Mon 21st August. Will prob fly in to JFK or EWR on Sunday 20th and return to LHR Tues 22nd. Aside from the evening of the 21st I have no other commitments.
Any ideas for a TP run?
Thanks!

I'm trying to book an INCEU60 fare found on ITA Matrix but BA Gold Line can't reproduce the fare. It's MXP-LHR-PVG-CTU-HKG-LHR-PSA. The only difference I could determine was that the BA system was breaking the journey at PVG (and putting PVG-CTU as a different fare) whereas ITA broke it at CTU and had just the two INCEU60 fares.
Is there any way they can force PVG-CTU into the same fare? The call centre lady couldn't.
I could get a similar price to ITA using bookwithmatrix and FlightNetwork but would also want to upgrade the LHR-PVG leg with Avios, so not sure that would be possible?

You can nest NYC-ORD and ORD-NYC tickets (via CLT/WAS each way) and pick up some points at about £2/each. Not the best, but doable.

Additional options in addition to the ARN-SIN on QR:
The well known exGER on UL FRA/MUC - DOH - CMB - CGK
840 TPs for 1600-1700 EUR. QR and UL metal.
And this mega run
FRA/MUC - DOH - CMB - MLE on QR/UL for 1380 EUR 640 TPs
plus MLE - HKG - DPS for 993 GBP all on CX and 560 TPs discussed here

We need 660 to get back to Gold by February. If I can get close that would be great.
I believe DPS is the code, so will do various searches, but so far am not pulling anything of interest up. Mostly via LHR and HKG and via DOH is £3k+!
Any tips or help would be appreciated as this part of the world is new to me.
Thank you

I am very sorry if I am asking this in the wrong area.
There used to be good fares to Tallin from UK. Is there a knack to booking them? I can't seem to find them on BA at all?
Thank you.
