So I am looking at a mixed itinerary using QF, FJ and AA to go to the US. I know how to use Mileage Monkey to calculate SC earn but am less certain about points. Current routing so far is:

MEL-SYD in QF Disc Y
SYD-NAN in FJ Y
NAN-LAX in J (25% J cabin bonus, but no QF status bonus I understand, will be PS on this flight but SG or maybe WP on the return leg)
LAX-LAS in AA Y(points earning +25/50/100 status bonus)
LAS-ORD-BOS in AA P (+50% cabin bonus +25/50/100 status bonus)

Then on return (uncertain what routing taking back to LAX, but...)
LAX-NAN in FJ J
NAN-MEL in FJ Y

Plus at least one SJU status run:
BOS-MIA in AA P
MIA-SJU in AA J (+25% cabin bonus +25/50/100 status bonus) (will probably return same way to BOS since pricing is OK at $500 return for 360 SC, but may also route elsewhere depending on what else I have to do)

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
A manual way to do it is to do a dummy award booking in the "Using points calculator" and look up which redemption tier / miles needed that particular sector falls under.

Then with that information, one can also ook at the SC earnings table for exact SCs.

coughbersome but has worked for me.

Try Milage Monkey.com - ruby is silver, sapphire is equal to QFF gold status, use Oneworld Explorer Validator, tick box (ignore errors)

like this NAN-LAX shows SC's Y 350, J $140 F 210 miles 5531

Clarification to my first post. Not sure if this helps and how it compares to mileage monkey.

Discount Y earns more than F? :eek:

To the OP, you should still earn status bonus flying FJ if you are on a QF flight no...

Don't forget to include any loyalty bonuses you get along the way..
