I suspect that this has already been done, but has anyone worked out a RTW route to maximise nTPS with BA?

Here is a route that I have put together to maximise the use of JL and QR (which BA award 50% TPs based on mileage) and yields at least 31,282 nTPs. I think it is a valid DONE.

OSL-DOH-CPT-DOH-MEL-SYD-HND-CGK-NRT-SIN-HND-JFK-GRU-DOH-MAN-DOH-OSL

Be interested to see if anyone has looked at any other routes to maximise nTPs 😊

Yes. Has been asked before and recently. Question better asked in BA forum.
Look at posts 894 to 898 here --> The Oneworld Explorer User Guide

Had a look at the link and not sure it does relate to my question? I am looking at a Oneworld RTW DONE* route that mainly utilises airlines where BA are awarding 50% nTPs based on distance, most Oneworld airlines only award 25% or less apart from three which seem to offer 50% for a DONE* (AY, JL and QR).

I guess my question is how many nTPs can you earn with a Oneworld RTW DONE* with the BAC?

I did try and put the route (OSL-DOH-CPT-DOH-MEL-SYD-HND-CGK-NRT-SIN-HND-JFK-GRU-DOH-MAN-DOH-OSL) into aaaxton My xONEx calculator but am getting an "Invalid" return? I think the route complies with the rules and flights are available for each segment.

JL only flies NRT-CGK, not HND-CGK.

Also, this is a DONE6.. if you are just going for BA Gold, there are cheaper options with less continents.. but if the ask is to maximize nTPs regardless of cost.. well, then of course you spend more money.

Thanks, I got my Tokyo airports mixed, thanks! Yes, a DONE6, would be interested in DONE4 or DONE5 that maximise nTPs 😊

I will maintain GGL for 2026-27 but looking to see what is needed to keep Gold.

Detailed questions on BAC ff earnings best asked in BA forum. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...ways-club-446/
Have (again) requested thread be moved to BA forum

All DONE* have the 16 segment limit. Paying more $$ for a DONE6, but same earning potential as lesser cost DONE*'s.
Does OSL-DOH-CPT-DOH-MEL-SYD-HND-CGK-NRT-SIN-HND-JFK-GRU-DOH-MAN-DOH-OSL
become OSL-DOH-CPT-DOH-MEL-SYD-HND,NRT-CGK-NRT-SIN-HND-JFK-GRU-DOH-MAN-DOH-OSL so 17 segments?
HND-NRT counts as 1 segment. QF fly BNE/MEL-NRT, but not SYD-NRT.

Sorry but just happened to come across this post after 3 months hi ademanuele if you still need it - you need to put the airline code between airports like this, just as the example shown, as rates are different between carriers.

(not hugely familiar with the new BA program).

But wouldn't the AA leg earn at least some TPs
Possibly minimal under some calculated $ value component of that leg (and if that is too difficult) then under a distance table.

Not entirely sure what your objective is here. If it's just to renew Gold, you can achieve that with a DONE3. If it's to visit all the wonderful places on your itinerary, great. Have you thought about the time which needs to be invested in an itinerary like this? As for JFK-GRU on AA, the BA TP calculator estimates this as 2,384 in D, which I'd say is optimistic.

A point of reference here. My last DONE4 was ticketed by QR.

I recently flew from SYD to LHR in J on BA (not a code share) and I have today received 5,693 nTPs (including 400 bonus nTPs).The distance method has been used for the calculation of nTPs.

Not to take this in another direction, but I also have seen BA flights (not codeshare) on an AY ticket post to BA Club as distance method. This was not a DONEx but rather a normal AY ticketed trip in Business that had cancelations (during the strike), so flights were rebooked on BA in J.

Done3 is more than enough for ba gold - even if not optimzed in asia for taking CX instead of JL (personal reason.). You may get more tier points for done6 but why pay more. One could get far more when taking JL in lieu of CX. Taking AS in north america like jfk sea bze lax sjo lax doh lis doh osl

Jfk anc is seasonal and more miles, save a lot of tax comparing to central america

I cant convince myself to buy more because I would just go back to the same places again and again without real transportation need - i have JL sapphire by paying 2000 miles per year so the benefits is onnly some ba avios (not even a lot) and use first class lounge instead of business class lounge. (Nice but not the end of the world for me.)

Don�t forget you can include NRT CMB NRT on jal codeshare on done 3

To max it out o would do

OSL DOH LHR HND SIN NRT CMB NRT BOS LAX LIR LAX ANC LAX DOH HEL OSL

The calulator shows AA less for BAC credit than AS. By the BAC chart AS D gets 25% of miles and AA D 50%. Route LAX-ANC chosing AA code 161 miles, AS code 586 miles. Glitch?

If you credit your flights to BA, points on AA/IB/BA flights are spend based as they share fare information with each other. In the case of RTW tickets, my experience was that would be

base fare x (seg distance / total distance)

AS wont sell you to BA so still distance based.
