Anyone know how many VS tier points you earn on DL First Class LAX>HNL flights?

I'm looking at flights for next year flying LHR>LAX VS Upper connecting to DL First Class LAX>HNL (Hawaii) return all on one ticket all with VS flight numbers. The dates I'm looking at show Z fare on outbound and I fare for the return.

Obviously I'd earn 100+200 TP's for the VS legs but what about the DL legs?

LAX>HNL is ~2556 miles according to great circle mapper.

The DL TP earning table here still doesn't make much sense the flights over 2000 miles column states 'excluding US domestic flights'. Surely HNL is considered domestic? If so where does it fall in that earning table?

Also to confuse things even further Delta use a 767-300 on that route which has the hybrid Delta One lie flat seats though is marketed as First Class.

I really do wish VS would make that Delta tier point earning table easier to understand!

I don't know for sure, but my read of the earnings table says you'll get 20 TP each way LAX-HNL. But experience suggests that you will get 40 for the I fare as all my domestic I fares have awarded 40. So I'm pretty confident you will get 60 total for the DL legs.

Personally I think the 'and/or' clause in the under 2,000 miles column should just be 'or'; i.e. anything under 2,000 miles OR any US domestic. It seems pretty clear to me that is the opposite case to the over 2,000 miles column.
