Hi,
Was hoping something could help me with this. I swore I woud never do a mileage run.... but here goes.
I was calculating my AA EQPs the other day, and realised (I think) that I am only 6000 EQPs short of EXPLAT on AA. I already have QF WP status for 2007, so never really thought I would need the EXPLAT status on AA as well, but now I am thinking that I could make use of those eVIPs after all.
So, my current posted balance on my AA account is 78,895 EQPs. On Friday I also completed LHR-HKG-SYD on CX in BC (I category) , which have not yet posted. I think that this is worth about 16000 qpoints. Could anybody confirm this. I did call the AA number, got thru to an Indian call centre, and was told it would be about 10500 points, which I queried, but she wasn't able to help me any further.
So, I have held a SYD-HNL-SYD flight, AA codeshare (QF metal), leaving tomorrow. The fare category is V on AA (not QF). I think this will give 1 qpoint per mile, and 100% mileage, which would get me comfortably over the 100,000 qpoints needed for EXPLAT (if my CX calculations are correct). Again, can anybody confirm this. I would hate to have spent around $2000 on this mileage run (or qpoint run?) only to have miscalculated.
Regarding payment of the ticket, what would be the best number to call? I have looked around and most people seem to recommend the Aust number. But what is it? Does anybody have the direct number? Preferably one that doesn't go thru to India.
Thanks for your help...
