MAD-ARN with IB only 40TP in J?
So I am looking at this sector on the BA calculator and it seems to earn only 40TP in J. Is that right given it is around 1600 miles (more than LHR-HEL)?
Am I missing something?

Yes that’s right. The only routes which are sh+ getting 80 TPs are BA operated, and also the AY UK-HEL routes due to that being part of the JV agreement for those routes. Everything else is 40 TP below 2000 miles and then 140 from 2000 miles upwards.

Correct, it’s 40TPs, have done it a few times. I think the 80TP for short haul plus is only on BA-operated (and/or perhaps marketed) flights, plus AY between LHR and HEL.

Well except lhr-lca which is above 2000mi but which ba annoyingly insists on not crediting with the 140TPs that should be owed... 😟
