Mine posted today, from Saturday - 48 hours.

That's annoying. I don't understand how they can not confirm this as your boarding pass has to be scanned on boarding? If the return HEL-LHR have posted ok wouldn't that be proof you flew HEL-TLL as otherwise your whole ticket would've been cancelled?

My LHR-HEL was BA and that posted fine but my HEL-TLL hasn't which was AY.

Getting a bit worried as I need these 200 TP's to get me exactly 1500TP's and my year ends at the beginning of April

BA now asking for a letter from Finnair confirming I took the HEL-TLL flight Finnair Twitter team can see fine on their system that I flew that sector. Ticket was 125 stock too! Have PM'd BA.com Official to hopefully help resolve, esp as Finnair want €10 for a letter!

Just booked there today. HfP today advised a 30% off sale on Radisson hotels so brought down price more to my level.

All my flights were on BA codeshares. The return from Sunday has just posted.

Yep, HEL-TLL was AY coded - other flights were BA coded. I agree with the logic of your argument re cancellation if leg not flown, but that seems beyond BA to think through! I'm annoyed the Finnair app deletes BPs once journey complete, that certainly hasn't helped matters!

Am I being daft, or what? Why 200 TP? Surely this is 240 TPs?

80 each way for LHR-HEL (business) and 20 each way for HEL-TLL (full economy - there's no business option/cabin)

It shows 80 for flights between LHR and HEL in I class and 20 for flights between HEL and TLL in Y selling class. How is it faulty?

In that it displays rates for Business class which obviously don't exist, if there is no business cabin on that route!

Maybe there once was?

In any case you need to look at selling class to check what TPs you will earn and this fare books in to Y selling class so the calculator is correct. When booking I think it will not say business class anyway for the flights between HEL and TLL.

Yep, I can see that anyone not familiar with the details of this particular fare and aren't aware that the TLL plane doesn't offer a business cabin would be led to the expectation of 40TPs for this leg.

I've updated the thread title for clarification.

Nicely done - now I just need to get BA to actually credit me for the 20 TP & 500 Avios I'm missing for that leg! No word yet from BA.com Official after a week, here's hoping though!
