I've noticed this seems to happen on routes where there is direct First on some flights but not on all flights each day. Also on routes where there is First only seasonally, or perhaps
historically.
BAH holidays are worth calling in these circumstances, they see a longer list of available flights than you do online. Also with the double TP offer, you get double points for the First leg and for the connecting flight .
Thanks for your help, yes will have to call them up - I did confirm with them that double TPs for connecting flights must be codeshares with BA prefix, but even if not you would still get the standard points so not all bad.
For example going to Indonesia via Hong Kong - no codeshare so I would get double TPs for the HKG flight but single TPs for the CX flight.
