With the tier points, I actually made it 800 - 80, 140, 140, 40, 40, 140, 140, 80, so even better and then the positioning flights add a few more in there too. Very nice indeed.
BUD-LHR in business is only 40TP, not 80TP. So it's 720TP total.
But you could make it 80TP (and 800TP total) by nesting a LHR-BUD CE positioning return flight of your own accord. That's unlikely to be particularly cost effective, however.
