TPs on S7
Hello,
I'm planning a trip outbound PEK-TBS via OVB (Beijing to Tbilisi via Nobosibirsk) and returning EVN (Yerevan)-ICN via OVB on S7.
According to the BA TP calculator PEK-OVB is 40 TPs in Business and PEK-ICN is 140 TPs in business however it will not display the EVN-OVB or OVB-TBS legs.
Is anyone able to help? Although the S7 business class is only a US style domestic first class, if either of these legs earn 140s then I might book to help with my TP balance. I've tried guessing the distances and based on flight time they look borderline between 40 and 140 TPs.

I had slight issues with discrepancies between what BA thinks and GCMap’s report - I found ExpertFlyer to match what the agent was saying, though it was admittedly a very small sample.

BA replied to confirm the route is worth 1740 Avios at 100% earning rate (e.g. Y, B, H, K booking codes), and 20 TPs (40 in business).
In case others read this in the future, I've learnt that when booking on s7's website, you can choose between Economy Restricted and Economy Flexible. Despite what one might think, this is not related to the underlying booking class (e.g. selecting Economy Flexible does not mean you are getting a Y or B booking code). The website will sell you the cheapest available booking code (e.g. S, T, or whatever) and then within that code you can select Restricted or Flexible (Flexible gives things such as baggage allowance etc).
