Calculation of status credits

[dpkin1]

Hopefully this is quite a simple question which I've been unable to find an answer for using search.

If I book a flight with Etihad from Bangkok to London via Abu Dhabi so I receive status credit as if the flight was a single leg or broken down into two separate legs (i.e 60+60 or 80 points)?

Thanks

You will get SC and points for each leg, so BKK-AUH and AUH-LHR

Note also that on 1 June the points tiering and SC calculation for Etihad changes markedly.

By creating the new Discount Economy tier, this will effectively halve SC earning on most Etihad flights.
