How many PPS sectors for my OW flights ?

[jhm]

In a moment of idleness, I thought I'd work out from (i) my flights over the last 12 months which qualified me for BA gold (1,500 tier points) and (ii) my flights booked over the next 12 months how many PPS sectors this would give if they were all SQ flights. I was interested to see which FFP is - for my flight patterns at least - "harder" although of course (i) a sample of two is not significant at all; (ii) YMMV depending on your flight pattern from year to year; and (iii) there are different measures of "hardness", e.g. only SQ flights for PPS compared to the QF, AY, CX, JL and MA flights which I've included below.

The tables below show the flight number, origin, destination, number of miles, tier points and PPS sectors (if any).

A quick glance, are you comparing the miles? I see LGW-TLS as 1.25 sectors, but in reality, I don't think you can earn that sectors since no SQ codeshare for that route.

Sorry for the confusion - yes, just comparing the miles - none of them are SQ flights/codeshares!
