This is all such a game but I am going to try to play it. If I can play on Delta for the past few years, I can survive anything.
Will have the miles go to my AA account. The clients travel agent booked all of this and gave my AA number in the booking but I imagine I will still have to do some hounding to get them. Anyway, I will get full q-points for my AS and BA segments. I will sign up for the Plat Challenge, of which I knew nothing about, and get that on this flight. That leaves my Qantas segments- lots of miles that can go nowhere? Doesn't look like it- I opened an Alaska account and I will get, I think, 100% of those miles. It won't count for any MVP or anything but I will get the miles.
My other lesson learned is that I will book this flight on my own in the future. BA with an L ticket..I lose so many miles. Live and Learn, at least I am not paying for the ticket.
Thanks everybody!</font>
Unless I missed something, you will not get a full q-point flying BA. This is from AA.com:
First Class A, F, P 100% + 50% bonus 1.50
Business Class C, D, J, I 100% + 25% bonus 1.25
World Traveller Plus T, W 100% + 10% bonus 1.00
Economy Class Y, B, H 100% 1.00
Discount Economy Class G, K, L, M, N, O, Q, S, V 25% 0.50
**Transatlantic flights to/from the U.S. are not eligible for mileage accrual.
It's a half a point for mile flown in discount economy.
