Am looking at some status run in the coming month in States, and found out some weird results in terms of points earning with flight from/to PHL.
It appears PHL is not being considered as East Coast USA/Canada per https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/p...r-and-partner-airline-regions-and-definitions, which makes flight from/to PHL being categorized as "All other flights".
So for the flight I am looking at now PHL - LAS which is 2170 miles, a first class ticket only earns 120 status credits, while a shorter flight CLT - LAS, 1910 miles, earns 150 status credits.
Not sure how many other routes have similar problem, but thought PHL being large hub of former US airways, this should get fixed by QF?
