Finally booked mine for Ł1230, CAI-LHR-JFK-LAX-HNL-PHX-JFK-LHR-CAI, earning 1120TP.
Two of the nights are spent on overnight flights (HNL-PHX and JFK-LHR), so only need one night in NYC, one in LA, one in HNL (book-ended with CAI airport hotel), which keeps the hotel costs down.
Also thank you FT ppl for the assistance, it's all helped.

To finally make it back to Gold this membership year - and thanks to FT - I'm booked on a CAI-HNL run this month @1020 TP/1500 USD.
Just a quick question to those with recent exCAI experience, as I haven't found anything clear in other threads:
Re the "laptop ban": it is my understanding that - unlike Egyptair (!) - this currently still applies to BA flights. According to the gov.uk website, only laptops, tablets and large phones + their accessories are banned. Having been to a lot of countries in the region, I know that they sometimes have their own interpretation of rules. So has anyone taken a larger DSLR camera + lenses/gear and/or a small point-and-shoot on the BA154? Or will I end up in pointless discussions with local security?

I'm on hold to the GGL team trying to book it, but CAI-LHR-JFK-LAX-HNL-LAX-JFK-LHR-CAI - with LHR-JFK / JFK-LHR in F through a Joker+GUF1 (more so to use them up opposed to for comfort benefits!).
Annoyingly, I've just checked, and discovered that my TransCons are showing up as Business opposed to First - which looks wrong because it means I'm not in the 1-1 layout but the 2-2. Now I know the Fare Brackets element changed recently, but I didn't realise it wouldn't book me into the F cabin. Help?
I also managed to get the positioning flights on Avios, so if anyone happens to be flying to CAI on 2nd December, I'll see you onboard!

Has anyone managed to book online on any airline or OTA website?
Due to a busy travel schedule the next days I won't be able to call during the call center hours.

Ask the social media team on twitter, they call you back with everything priced up, so you'll just have to confirm dates/times and pay. They work 24h.

Has BA pulled availability on a lot of routes? I am looking at CAI-HNL-ORD-CAI with stop in ORD. It is rather simple, with no ff fireworks. Till yesterday I was able to price many routes on OTAs but nothing today.

The fare is still live, and there is availability (going out into summer 2018). You may have been beaten to the availability of closer in bookings by someone else. BA seem to be managing/limiting the I class availability on CAI-LHR and LHR-CAI which makes finding one of these a little more challenging than usual, however, no major changes that I can see in the last few days.
