Thanks, and sorry for the hassle.
You collect miles for each segment (i.e. each different flight you board). So, if you are going from Helsinki to Lima via some other place(s) you would collect miles for each different flight. It is important to always keep your boarding passes (the little stubs that you keep when boarding) until after the miles post to your account. If for some reason the miles don't show up in a reasonable amount of time and you need to request credit they will ask you to provide your original boarding pass. So basically you get miles for each plane you get on. Does that make sense?
