140TP B2B destinations in a day?
Hi All,
Following the TLV changes, are there any other 140TP B2B destinations which you can do same-day?
Failing that, what are the next best options for a B2B overnight, where an outbound or return leg are overnight, where you can get a full 8 hour sleeps on one leg, and very competitively priced? I.e. further than Dubai, etc.
Many thanks for your help.

In Club Europe, TLV would be 160 TPs as a B2B, so 80 TPs each leg. It's not something I would recommend.

If so: 2,000 mile routes from HEL such as AGP and LIS.

Your best bet might be to do LCY-AMS-LCY-AMS-LCY or similar in Club Europe. AMS is obviously an assured B2B and LCY is good for a short connection because it's inherently fast, so you could have a pretty short (1 hour) turnaround there with good confidence. Or do this from LHR and plan in several hours in the lounge instead.

yes if you do the same route on the same day, only one will post, and you will have to retro claim the other.
for example:
1. NCL-LHR
2. LHR-NCL
3. NCL-LHR
4. LHR-MAN
Flight 1, 2, and 4 will post. Flight 3, even tho it’s a different flight number, won’t post and you will have to claim it after. No question you are due the points for 3 of course.

But the direct pricing seems to be ridiculous at the moment even 6 months out. £6k. Unless you stay at least overnight.
