UL : RGN-CMB-LHR one-way GBP 702
Pretty wide open, one-way business class ticket with Sri Lankan (One Word) from Myanmar to London.
Fare allows for one unlimited duration stop-over in Colombo.
Sightly cheaper on OTA than Sri Lankan website.

Can't get BA Tier Points calculator to compute
I can't get a result out of the tier points calculator. I was expecting 140 but fearing a 40.
If it were 140 we would route our move back to the UK from Macau this July as TPE-KUL-RGN-CMB -LHR which works out at not much over Ł1k one way with some interesting short stop offs.

I just put in a random date (16 July 2019) into Skyscanner and got a fare of Ł708.00 for the flight but routing RGN - BKK - CMB - LHR - the RGN - BKK leg is a UL flight number but operated by Myanmar Airways - so not sure if you would earn TPs on that leg?

You almost certainly won't earn TPs and Avios for a codeshare operated by a non-oneworld member. AFAIK the only exception to this is Qantas codeshares op by Emirates...

Not UL RGN-CMB
RGN-CMB is only 1285 miles , hence 40 TP. The only flights <2000 miles with higher earning is BA's own SH+ routes and the AY UK-HEL flights, all earning 80
Explanation as to why it doesn't show in the BA Calculator is in Post 5. It is Myanmar Airways not UL so probably no points at all.
Thanks for the geography info I hadn't looked it up. If this had worked with TPE-KUL-RGN-CMB-LHR we had planned to complete renewing Silver by doing an MAN-LHR-HEL weekend away.

I am new here, but can you tell me where you saw this rate. I just checked Sri Lanka Air's website and I could not find this rate
