As these legs would be under 2000 miles they'd only get 40 TP for each leg. So unless you're based over there you'd be better off heading to the US and taking advantage of AA domestic F.

I was thinking of my own personal circumstances. I'm in the GCC a lot, so switching direct flights on EY to 2-leg QR flights might be a great way to pick up 160TPs on flights I'd have normally received nothing for (from BAEC).

To SIN, HKG, BKK etc. people not based in the UK will earn 4x 140 TPs flying with QR rather than 2x 40+2x 140 with BA.
And best of all, don't have to put up with Afternoon Tea on the feeder flight
I Believe QR has 787s from most European destinations now.

Well being in Moscow I get a shed load of alternates and its over 2000M to DOH from DME, so its usually 140+140 wherever I go and some crazy cheap prices... though if I want uber cheap, I need to wait for Shrilanken..

They're also about half the price of BA to the Far East.
