Well even if we mean direct flights so can stop but no change in flight number the answer is still the same then from GOT as you can only get to LHR on BA or TXL on AB before you have to change flight numbers to something else and connect onwards.
If we say from LHR then the answer would be one of the >6,000 mile long haul routes so LHR to CPT, EZE, HND, NRT, SIN. These would all be on one flight number and yield the following TPs each way:
40 economy (discounted)
80 economy (full fare)
100 premium economy
160 business
240 first
For LHR-SYD there is BA15/16 which stops in SIN but mantains the same flight number on to SYD. If the flight has one flight number (i.e. BA15 LHR-SYD) which has a stopover in SIN, you would receive TPs each way as if it were a direct flight, so:
60 economy (discounted)
120 economy (full fare)
150 premium economy
240 business
360 first
If you book it as say BA11 LHR-SIN, then BA15 SIN-SYD, you will get TPs for each leg which will work out as more, but you would not me on a direct flight and not keep the same flight number.
