Now, I’ve concentrated on European destinations in this list, as some of these destinations have little or no oneworld direct service from their respective cities – adding more destinations or requiring a minimum of one change (if its oneworld, through Heathrow or Berlin).
Earning and burning is live – with British Airways earnings listed:
For those who use the UP fares (booking into J or P), these will only earn 100% mileage and tier points as opposed to business (C, D,Z) or First (F, A) which earn 125% or 150% Avios.
Not stellar earnings, but better than a poke in the eye.
