It looks like there are lots of routes missing. A quick script gave me these 160 TP earning routes according to BA's calculator:
Code:
AA AMM-DTW,AMM-ORD,AUH-JFK,AUH-ORD,BNE-DFW,BNE-LAX,BOS-NRT,CPT-LHR,DFW-NRT,DFW-SYD,HKG-JFK,HKG-LAX,HKG-ORD,HKG-SFO,HKG-YVR,HND-JFK,JFK-NRT,LAX-MEL,LAX-PVG,LAX-SYD,LAX-TPE,NRT-ORD,ORD-PEK,ORD-PVG,SEA-TPE,SFO-TPE
BA CPT-LHR,EZE-LHR,FRA-SIN,LGW-MRU,LHR-NRT,LHR-SIN
CX HKG-JFK,HKG-JNB,HKG-LAX,HKG-ORD,HKG-SFO,HKG-YVR,HKG-YYZ
IB CPT-LHR,EZE-MAD,FRA-SIN,LHR-SIN,MAD-MVD,MAD-SCL
JL BOS-NRT,CDG-HND,CDG-NRT,DFW-NRT,HND-JFK,JFK-NRT,LHR-NRT,NRT-ORD
LA AKL-SCL,MAD-SCL,SCL-SYD
QF AKL-SCL,BNE-DFW,BNE-LAX,DFW-SYD,FRA-SIN,JNB-SYD,LAX-MEL,LAX-SYD,LHR-SIN,SCL-SYD
RJ AMM-DTW,AMM-ORD
Though some of the routes are probably out of date/wrong.

Eligible flights are BA coded, BA metal, IB coded+IB metal. So LHR-MAD-BCN-LHR would get 3 elibigle flights for instance.
