245 tp needed
currently need 245 TP to potentially get GGL
Anyone has any ideas where I can get that say from Europe (currently in London atm) for a cheapie? say under GBP 1.50 / TP?
I will need at least 1 sector on a BA/IB plane.

why would you need 1 sector for GGL or do you only have 3 sectors in 4,755 TP’s?

If you are time poor as me, my advice would be to do an IST coupled with a B2B domestic which would give you 240 which leaves 5 from any Y flight. You can tie this into one trip using EI such as flying LCY-DUB-MAN-LHR on one day, LHR-IST day 2 -!: IST-LHR day 3.

Best bet is likely to be a domestic starting point to a short-haul plus destination. That'd still leave you 5 short but that could be from the positioning flights.

thanks all for the suggestions -
just looking around doesn't seem like i can get my 245 tp at <400 gbp over this weekend.
i had some meetings that were going to be cancelled next week and it would have been economical for me to cancel the 2nd leg of my QR J ticket back to HKG and just redeem CX home.
But looks like plans have changed now - looks like i will be taking my original bookings after all and will get my 245+ TP and 1 sector (i.e. MAD-AMS via IB, then AMS-xDOH-HKG QR J)

Sorry to hijack this thread
Have you had a look at the main thread: BA Tier Point Runs | 2017 master thread?
I suggested the LHR-TLL but we both can't find it as BA website won't price it out.
I'd appreciate any suggestions...
Thanks
