This would be consistent with my experience, getting 50% of distance flying LCA-LHR on BA on a DONE3 issued by JL. I am now on a CX-issued RTW but so far haven't tested AA or BA segments, and the previous comment made me a bit concerned, since I'm down to the wire in terms of requalifying as BA Gold.

Got 696 nTP(5217 avios earned) for DFW-JFK and 1231nTP(9230 avios earned) for JFK-LAX, so its 50% of the actual flying distance and avios earning is roughly 375% as a BA gold, not sure if that's also due to a transit from a JL flight beforehand.

I found AA's earnings on BA's new earnings scale could be hard to predict on such occasions; probably this could also happen to BA/IB coded and operating flights as well. Might still avoid BA/AA/IB flights as much as i could in furture RTW ticket even its issued by non-BA/AA/IB
