I live in Sweden and am trying to understand how BA tier points work.
If I book a flight from GOT to IST it connects via LHR. According to the BA’s Tier point calulator I would earn 40 points each way for this trip in Business class.
Why do I not earn 40 points för the GOT-LHR flight plus 160 points för the LHR-IST flight?
I asked the question on the phone to the Executive Club and was told that I must think of it as one flight in terms of earning tier points. This makes no sense to me. I thought that tier points are earned on each segment.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
To get the right answers from the Tier Point Calculator, you do have to enter each flight segment separately and add them up, so in this case it would be 40 for Got-Lon and 80 for Lon-Ist each way. I think there’s some verbiage somewhere on the calculator screen to this effect.

As per the TP calculator page right above where you enter flight details!
“You can also use this calculator for connecting flights. Simply enter each flight separately and then add the amounts together.
“Example: for New York to Edinburgh via London, enter New York to London, then London to Edinburgh. Select the New York airport, such as JFK, and London airport, such as LHR.”
160 TPs is LHR-Japan. Not even LHR-LAX earns that much.

Sorry I mixed up the one way and return points for Lhr to Ist.
Thank you all for the replies.
