Nope.

QF calculate the distance as LON-KEF (rather than say LGW-KEF) which is under 1200 miles.
You win some and you loose some. Some sectors seem to count more and other's less so in some cases you do actually win over the BA calculation (1 particuar route I fly features this exact situation). I wish I knew the answer to this question and when I last asked the QFF desk, the person did not have an answer.
