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. Some information on how to use ITA matrix is in post #4 of this thread (or just click 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 along with UK domestic returns. Additionally you may find that trips in to mainland Europe require a one night stay whereas the cheapest domestic CE returns do not have any minimum stay so can be booked as a same day return. If doing a back to back AMS and JER can be easier than DUB for an immediate turnaround - more information can be found in the back to back thread listed in the forum dashboard. 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). UK domestic route, Bilbao, Jersey and Amsterdam seem 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 Ł300 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 of this thread, 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 Ł500.
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 Ł520.
DUB-LHR-HEL return (or return to LHR) is currently a very efficient way of hitting 200-240 TPs

LHR-MAD-ALC-IBZ = 40+20+20
IBZ- VLC = 20
VLC-MAD-LHR = 20+40
From the math I learned in school that makes 160.
Btw, the 340 is indeed a nice plane, but still only 40 TP

Definitely not bad for Hawaii exUK, I tried to see if exINV brought the price down and it doesn't on the AA fare.
A HEL shuffle would be nice for extra points but it certainly isn't the worse and around the price we paid exDUB last year

I am in PHX in October for the NFL. Just looking at the LAX-PHX-LAS hop for Ł250. Are there any quick mini runs that can be done starting in PHX at that sort of money? Probably looking at 19/20 for it and can do an overnight in Vegas. I doubt it will be a hardship. Thanks in advance.

How do you actually go about booking one of these, by phoning BA and quoting the fare details? When I go to AA and put in a multi-city route matching those dates routing via JFK, I can't get anywhere near those prices unless it is LHR-LAX-OGG...I suspect I'm doing something wrong.

[QUOTE=Alexanderw;30007435]How do you actually go about booking one of these, by phoning BA and quoting the fare details? When I go to AA and put in a multi-city route matching those dates routing via JFK, I can't get anywhere near those prices unless it is LHR-LAX-OGG...I suspect I'm doing something wrong.

I booked one of these about a month ago, well think it was the same as this, but the same price, also allowed me to start from home (Edinburgh)
You can book it using BA multi city and it’ll give all BA codes for extra Avios, and all my legs apart from the TATL went into J class.
(When you go through, it did say my jfk-lax was only available in economy, but if you select the flight you want and ignore it, it will appear on the next page in business class)

How did I book it? I've found an availability using ITA Matrix, then used multicity on BA to select desired flights and it priced up correctly.

I've booked one of these a few weeks ago, settled for LHR-LAX-OGG // HNL-LAX-LHR with a 23h layover in LAX on return, managed to snag an upgrade to F on outbound, total price Ł1700pp.

Have I gone mad, or has all information on fare class been taken off Google flights?

You are sticking your head out, asking those kind of questions
On the serious side, haven't really found myself comfortable with GF. ITA Matrix has disadvantages, but still more to my liking. Thus, no good answer from me on any of the two questions.
