US starting TP Run?
Hello All,
Long time lurker for BA info, first time poster (I actually created an account specifically for this).
I know there are countless threads and a master for BA TP runs, however after reading them all I am still none the wiser and can't seem to find any decently priced or imaginative runs to make it worth it.
My Issue, although a Brit and a member of the BAEC for a few years, I recently moved to the east coast USA, and so my travel has been a bit less this year, but I want to retain the gold status for use whilst I am travelling within the USA and for coming back home.
Does anyone have any advice or can suggest a run from North East USA? (around 250-300 TPs would be needed).
Thank you all in advance!

Welcome to Flyertalk TheCircusPilot and welcome to the BA Forum, it's good of you to emerge from lurkerlife and join up with us here.
I think you probably have three strands
- cheapest trans-continental First flight you can find on AA (being over 2,000 miles, and that means PHX-DCA isn't far enough). This gets 140 TPs per leg if it's not a Flagship service, and if booked 2 weeks or more in advance. JFK-PHX is £636 return for 280 TPs for example.
- a series of local hops such as JFK-BOS, again in First, which get 40 TPs for £114
- in between something like BOS-JFK-DCA, again 40 TPs per flight, but it can work out fairly cost effective, So BOS-LGA-DCA is £148 for 80 TPs, which is just about as good as it gets but obviously a lot of work,

I do already have the 4 BA flights, it takes 4 flights in one trip to get home via all the shortest routes.
Thank you to all for the warm welcome!
