Are there any trips you are about to book, that could be altered to become more TP efficient?

Ah yes you are right, sorry it was my first post
I am about 45 minutes from LHR and 1.5 hrs from LGW but am willing to travel to maximize the TP's
I have 2 trips to France planned in the coming weeks but am travelling with my family (plus baby) for those and so can't really change them.

If you get all four sectors upgraded, thats (I guess) 4x30 TP = 120TP. however it might be cheaper to do a TP run - check your price per TP. Anything udner 2 seems a pretty good deal (but then you may want to take the ease of upgrading an existing flight into account).
Good luck!

Post 3650 in the TP thread was LCT to KEF (rekjavik) which at the time of posting was 292. It's now 332 and can be done as a B2B in a day. For example:
https://www.google.co.uk/flights/#se...2229;sc=b;a=BA
You need to do 2, which means I think you'll have to do one mid week

Some good suggestions there flbrit73 and let me welcome you to Flyertalk and the BA Board. There are a fair number of members with an extensive knowledge of very good TP runs (^) and what's available.
I hope you find something and if you can we all like to hear the end results from queries.

Thanks for the correction. As KARFA said I was under the impression that LHR-LCA in J earns 140 tier points as the distance exceed 2k miles

LHR-HEL-LHR can be day-tripped for a tad under 400 on most days in November in Club; 160TP return.
LHR-HEL-OSL-HEL-LHR can be had for a tad under 500 on weekends in November in Club/Business with an overnight stop in Helsinki, 240TP return.
LHR-MAN-LHR can be done back to back, or with an hour and a half for lunch and watching the view in the MAN lounge, on weekend days for 270-ish in CE, 80TP.
LGW-AMS-LGW can be done back to back.

GOT-AGP can get you 360TP if you are short on time. GOT is easy to B2B too and the lowest avios zone to get to.
I would personally do it over 2 weekends with an avios redemption back from AGP and get 2 long weekends away but I know people are happy to spend a weekend on a plane....
