Is the TP calculator trustworthy?
Now that there's apparently no chart to determine tier points (at least on partner airlines), it seems like we're somewhat at the mercy of the calculator to tell us the truth.
Do either of the below looking suspect? They form part of a plan to rush Euro-gold (my EC account is registered in France) between now and March.
JAL; business class; NRT-SIN (3324 miles): 140 TP
JAL; business class; LHR-NRT (5974 miles): 160 TP
Or is there actually an accurate chart somewhere?

The miles used in the 6000 calculation are the BA base miles awarded for the route. Although tools such as Great Circle Mapper may show LHR-NRT as being 5974 BA actually award over 6000 base miles hence the reason why the calculator is showing more TPs for that sector.
