Just wondering if my calculations are correct?
Code:
LHR IST 106° (E.) 107° (E.) 1,565 mi -> x100% => 1,565mi
IST PVG 064° (NE) 058° (NE) 5,000 mi -> x100% => 5,000mi
PVG IST 308° (NW) 314° (NW) 5,000 mi -> x 70% => 3'500mi
IST ATH 233° (SW) 227° (SW) ..334 mi -> x 70% => 250mi
Total: 10'315mi

You see, your mileage accrual may vary... Second method (using TPM) is more accruate as airlines use this systems to calculate.
Edit: The difference is to explain as following: B-cl will get 125% of miles with TK M&S and if you took this amount you got the wrong amount of miles...
