If you fly BA via Atlantic, then it will be the distance JFK-JNB that counts, not JFK-LHR-JNB. If the xLHR designation is given, the stopover city will be ignored.

Chiangi, I'm probably being paranoid here, but does the above hold true when COLLECTING miles on purchased tickets as well (Please don't tell me it's true)?
The reason I ask is that I have a OWE booked JNB-xHKG-BKK. Will the xHKG designation mean that I will only receive miles for the shortest distance JNB-BKK, or will I still receive miles for (JNB-HKG) + (HKG-BKK)?
Thanks
