Good question, and i'm not sure I have an answer:
- a mix of wanting BAEC Gold status
- wanted to do something completely different for my 50th, in the limited time i had leave for.
I had been lurking on flyertalk.com for months, watching what people were doing, talking about etc, and trying to figure out how the hell ITA Matrix worked - ITA Matrix has a language of its own, but i had a eureka moment here (#1625), when it all clicked into place as to how it works.
Wee Glossary
TP - Tier Points
BAEC - British Airways Executive Club
ITA Matrix - tool to find flights and costs - can't book via this though
