Welcome to the Find me a good BA fare ticket clinic.
This is essentially for BA / BA codeshares and partner only. If your booking is essentially on Qatar, Qantas, AA or anyone else, please go to those forums and pursue the matter there. These forums have good subject matter experts to hand.
- Please avoid very vague questions. Specific questions get specific answers. Give exact dates, start point, end point, what flexibility you have.
- As a courtesy to the other forum members, please at least read some of the advice in the posts above, and find one fare as a start point. It's a lot easier to provide constructive feedback that way.

Hi
Anyone would could help / recommend.
Need to attend a wedding in Natal Brasil, the 1st weekend of October.
Would like to use my benefits as a 'Silver' and earn some tier points.
What would be the best and cheapest way, and if possible minimum W or J.
TAP seems to be the most logical or Latam, but that has no benefits I guess for me ?
I'm London based.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Google flights is showing me incorrect data for pretty much all BA fares from mainland Europe right now, so don't go by that.

Welcome to FT, modernflyer!
Funnily enough, this thread today has basically been asking the same question: Is Zero to Silver from LON to NYC possible?

Help with finding best price for LHR-Scottsdale please
Hi guys
I'm going to be travelling to Scottsdale AZ 5th-7th May this year. My plan is to travel from the UK sometime over the weekend before (2nd or 3rd) and return home on the Fri/Sat/Sun (8th/9th/10th).
As it's a work trip, I can claim the WTP fare, but have a couple hundred thousand Avios to upgrade if possible. Unfortunately I'm not having any luck with finding available Avois upgrades. WTP Fare is currently coming out at around Ł1800.
So, my question to the collective experts on here is, what's the most reasonable Club fare I can get if I don't go direct? If I can get Club for not much more, I'll pay the extra. I've looked on Google Flights, and can't really get my head around it(!), and have seen a few threads about travelling from Dublin/AMS etc and getting good Club prices. I'm flexible on dates to a degree, and have Avios to upgrade if needed.
I should also say that I can fly from BHX or LGW too.
If anyone is able to help me out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Other options are also available, especially if you're willing to stray from BA and going with Finnair or AA. Play around with the search to see what works for you. Some of these connect via east coast airports such as JFK, which is good news if you're looking for extra BA tier points, as you'll get 40+140+140 tier points for each leg instead of 40+140+40 if you connect via e.g. ORD, DFW, or LAX, or 40+140 if you go direct.
Keep in mind that if you have checked luggage, that will travel all the way to OSL/OTP on the way back, and you can't rely on getting this short-checked to just LHR unless your connecting flight is the next day.

Looking to be in LAS NOV30-DEC4. Flying from HEL in Club. Already booked reward seats, but interested in the possibility of earning TPs in case a good fare can be found. Currently everything I find is way over €2000. Can start from anywhere is Europe.
