AKL-SCL (QF)
SCL-EZE (BA)
EZE-GRU (BA)
GRU-GIG (BA)
GIG-LHR (BA)
All flights seem to have been booked into K class.
So I take it LA would be the best program for this itinerary?
What sort of RTW is this? Oneworld's are bokked in L class.
If he just wants miles, perhaps think outside the Oneworld box... and join Alaska's MVP programme, and change the first sector from LHR to HKG to CX instead of BA. And I think if he's booked on QF between BKK and SIN, it might actually be on AY as that flight codeshares with QF. Have your friend change it to CX as well. SIN-DPS is indeed operated by AO or soon to be Jetstar Orange...so probably no miles for that.

You get 100% mileage on QF, CX and LA flights. You'd only be stuck at the 25% miles with BA.
