I recently noticed this on my milage summary - the flight from TLV-VIE, ZRH and FRA in J class gets less Executive Bonus miles than VIE, ZRH and FRA-Europe in J, even though the flight is longer (which I think is sort of strange).
My experience was like this:
TLV-VIE J 2928+366
VIE-HEL J 2000+500
I'm not complaining really - it is just an interesting point.
Take care,
