160 points needed for gold - a challenge!
Hi All,
This is a bit speculative and light hearted - please don't take too seriously!
I realised I will be reasonably close to gold by the time my tier point year ends on 8th September - I will be short by 160 points.
Realistically the only chance I have is a one way trip I need to take on 28th August from either Munich or Salzburg to Milan.
Does anyone have any clever ideas on how this might be done? I guess it's a bit of a long shot!
Cheers
Brutha

Hehe, you are right, money and time will solve the problem! But I am constrained, I have one day, leaving from Munich or Salzburg, need to get to Milan that night

I take it that MUC-LHR-MIL in Club Europe (and return) wouldn't work for you?
If not, MUC-LHR on Finnair in business on the 27th, with an overnight at HEL, would get you 120 and then you only need the 40TP from a one-way to Milan on the 28th.

MUC-LHR | nested LHR-AMS-LHR | LHR-MXP all in CE
BA947 07:20-08:30
BA434 11:45-14:05
BA439 16:20-16:40
BA582 18:00-21:00
for 40/40/40/40 can be done in a day. Wouldn't like to do the /TP on that though
Edit SZG-LGW-AMS-LHR-MXP might be a hair cheaper but still not worth doing it for a TP run (and the SZG-LGW starts at 11:45 so you may well not have time)

I guess that is probably not the best thing I can do with my money!
