I just had a quick look at April, not fully open but it's there for most weeks. So no it doesn't end in Feb. You need a Saturday there and are limited to week days in the Atlantic crossings.

If you can go via London (starting somewhere else) you'll earn 40 more on each flight.
Otherwise you could spend about £500 more and fly DUB-LHR-JFK-SFO-JFK-LHR-DUB for about £1,150 as has been outlined on this thread many times. You're best looking for things yourself to start with and then asking on here if it's a good deal. Reading this thread through should give you plenty of ideas. Good luck.

On Matrix if I click through with BA I'd be looking at £3k+, I assume that means I cannot book it for £1300 by phoning BA? It doesn't work on AA either. What are my options for booking? Isn't priceline a travel agent, and wouldn't this lead to problems if (/when) there are changes, or I need to make changes, since I can't deal directly with the airline?
Thanks

If anyone is interested to fly to Colombia i managed to maximaze the TP run to 920tps. Not the best value but good enough if you want to fly to Bogota. Comes around £1.85 per tp.
Again i never done a TP run before but it looks i managed well for first time!

Best time for TP run
Just getting around to planning a replacement for the TP run I should have been going on shortly but cashed in due to so many cancellations.
I have minimal work/leisure flying planned this year so the plan was to use it to requal Gold for 2023, however I wondered if I could be smarter.
Collection year ends Jan 8th, Card exp Feb 28th so in theory if I do the TP run between Jan 8th and Feb 28th while I would 'officially' drop to silver briefly I'd be able to travel on my current Gold card and would then ,almost immediately step up to Gold for 2023 year and then retain for 2024 also.
Or have I missed something?
