    I flew BHX-DUB-LCY-JFK-LAX-LIH-LAX-JFK-DUB-EMA last year all in just over 4 days. Cost a tad over £1000 all in business or First

    Was that all on the same ticket?

    The BHX-DUB and DUB-EMA were with Ryanair but yest the rest was on the same ticket. I included the cost of the RA flights in my price.

    Just going as far as LAX next month because I don't need the extra tier points. Cost £890 all in Business and First ;)
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    No booked everything with AA and added my BAEC number to the itinerary so I got the higher Tier Points

    Used Google flights to set it all up

    Will play with Google flights. Fancy doing DUB-LCY in the morning, going to work and then taking 19.55 LHR-JFK, stay at JFK and then go LA the next day.

    Sounds a great plan. Obviously keep an eye on the tier point run thread on flyertalk for a heads up of when the next lot of sale prices come in.
