Depending on how many segments there will be on your RTW journey, how many of them will be marketed or operated by BA, how many will be marketed and operated by IB, and how long each of the segments will be, you might be able to attain BA Gold (oneworld Emerald) status. But then, of course, you would be earning BA Avios, and not some other frequent-flyer currency.
You need 1,500 BAEC Tier Points in a qualifying year to earn BAEC Gold. You must also have flown a total of at least four flights operated or marketed by BA and/or marketed and operated by IB.
Each Business Class flight of 2,000 miles or more on oneworld carriers credited to BAEC earns at least 140 TP.
Is there a tool to figure this out. Only one of my long distance segments is with BA. I have not finalized my itinerary as yet but so far i am traveling with JAL, CX, QF, QR, BA, ,and AA. So i am not sticking to one airline.
