OK, a phone call to the BA EC confirmed to me that BA counts connecting cities when calculating miles flown for the OW award. He told me that a BA flight from CPH to DEL would be calculated as CPH-LHR-DEL even though you are only flying through Heathrow. Is he right?

Second, all OW awards have to originate in the States. Is this right?

Hope one of you can confirm the above or point me to a posting.
