Too many XP?
I just booked VIE-AMS-GDN/WAW-CDG-VIE ticket. During the booking flow, the system showed that I should gain 15 XP for VIE-AMS-GDN. I assumed that this is just some bug, but even after completing the booking, it still shows 25 XP for the entire ticket (i.e. 15 XP for outbound and 10 XP for inbound).
Am I missing something? Is AMS-GDN 10 XP for some reason?

The website frequently shows incorrect earning information. You should just learn to ignore any such reported earning amounts and instead rely on your own knowledge of the programme.
The only definitive source of XP earning information for any flight you have yet to fly is the Flight Type Simulator.
No. It earns 5XP in Economy (and 15XP in Business), just like each of the other sectors on your ticket.

Nope.
Bingo. This could be it (although I will earn the extra 5 XP on an earlier flight, but this is the first I booked after linking the accounts).

I had consistently promised 27 XP extra for SAF which I tried to buy, but for which payment (in miles) somehow was rejected. I never bothered correcting this. After the flight I just got my 20 XP for the ticket flown without the SAF XP. It is often these kind of things....
