just a quick question. I have an itinerary that i thought would get 800 tier points, its not especially cheap at 2000GBP, but i need to go to LAS.

It revolves around legs BOS-LAX (AA338) and LAS-MIA (AA2349) I thought both get credited as long haul First class, google flights is showing them as First (and i assumed 210 each leg) but BA agent saying it would be in I-class and the total tier points more like 600.

I'm not sure if this is because the agent could be ticketing the fare differently to Google Flights, or if Google Flights is wrong, or possibly the agent calculated the total wrong.

Any insights? thanks for help in advance and sorry i didnt have enough post history to provide a link to the full itinary on google flights.

Welcome to FT and the BA forum givemeaclue. The agent was indeed right. Those flights (even though in AA F) will earn business TPs (i.e. 140 TP for each flight). The only flights where you get 210 TP are your transcon JFK - LAX / SFO, LAX - BOS but that is flying in proper transcon F, not pretend F....!
