LHR-SYD - Earning and Spending

Fairly new so apologies if this has already been discussed - spent a while looking but cant find anything....

Do we have a definitive guide to the miles and tier points for the LHR-SYD route yet.

I spoke to someone in reservations the other day and she was under the impression that it would be treated as two seperate flights with the LHR-HK leg of 50,000 miles doubled for SYD - so 100,000. Someone else on FlyerTalk believes that UC is going to be 180k so their normal ratio seems to be broken - unless LHR-SYD is going to be 50k + 40k = 90k.

Likewise earning I assume will be standard mileage - tier points likewise will be 2* normal allowances.

Anybody have anything more definite here?

Hi BuffyTVS65 & welcome to V-Flyer

Like British says, there's another thread that covers this in more detail (http://www.v-flyer.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1872). Please try and keep all the comments in one place - i.e. on that thread.

With that in mind, I'm going to lock this thread

Cheers
