How many SC's will I earn

[superchris]

Can someone correctly inform me of the number of SC's and QFF points (QFF PLat) I will earn on an upcoming USA trip??

MEL-LAX in J (QF)
LAX-JFK in F on AA
ORD-LAX in Fon AA
LAX-MEL in J (QF)

I keep getting different results

Thanks

The details can be calculated from using

Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Status Credits and Great Circle Mapper

Shouldn't get different result each time

LAX-MEL is 7921 miles = 180 SCs
LAX-JFK is 2475 miles = 150 SCs in F (100 in J )
ORD-LAX is 1744 miles = 120 SCs
MEL-LAX is same as LAX-MEL = 180 SCs

Total 630SCs

Are you definitely in F from LAX-JFK. AA operates 3 class service on that route so if on a through business class fare, I would have expected the LAX-JFK to be in J which would drop the earning by 50 to 580

Many Thanks Dave.....having a bad day with my computer:evil: Yes I am in F on AA to maximise the SC earn.

Would seem an expensive way to attempt to maximise it to me. Changing to something like LAX-DFW-LGA/JFK would , I expect be cheaper, plus net 240 SCs rather than 150

If hunting for SCs a good route would be to fly QF/JQ to HNL for 140 SCs and then F HNL-LAX-DFW-LGA which would be 390 one way totalling 530 one way. Add on ORD-LAX-HNL-SYD and thats another 430 giving a grand total of 960 with little effort
