That is not quite correct. For BA Silver status you'd get:

2x ORY - LHR: 1000 10
4x LHR - SIN: 13512 40
4x SIN - SYD: 7816 35
2x LHR - MAD: 1570 10

Total: 90452 Avios ( ) and 340 Tier Points

It depends if the LHR-SIN-SYD is on one flight number (BA15) or two flights (BA11+BA15). First gets 60 TP, the other 40+35 TP. Avios are almost the same.

I managed to do some changes :

My depart to DXB I got a BA-number on it. (thanks to Finnair!), but I cannot get seat selection on it. Tells me it will be allocated at checkin on airport? I wanted to score already the exit rows. ( I am silver)

SO how did you guys do it?

My Depart to SYD I cannot change ff to BA on Finnair. Keeps telling me:

"
Please note.

The connection to the booking system is broken. Please try again later. (9102)"

I selected all seats by going to iberia.com which then directed me to ba.com...

Boo my SYD/SYD ticket was never ticketed and credit card not charged.
I could however select seats etc on BA.com but today the entire booking has disappeared unceremoniously from Iberia.com with no notification from them...

Affirmative. IB site displays the reservation, and prods me to choose seats for free, redirecting to BA site.

For free?
When I tried this, seat selection on BA site was paid service.

Was exit row selectable? I couldn't select any exit row seats on l/h flights as an OWS. Maybe they're already taken or it's only a OWE perk @ BA? I was able to select exit row for connecting flights for free, though.

Cant go to the seat selection page a BA. But for my AA bookings on BA metal, exit rows are certainly selectable.

I am passing through LHR this Saturday, will ask at the lounge.
