A 50,000 mile RTW earns 75,000 EQP; 54,000 earns 81,000 points etc. So if one is interested in attaining EXP status, more is better in terms of BIS miles in a premium class RTW, because of the EQPs, irrespective of the redeemable miles earned in the process.
Sound interesting!
After your post, I checked out the "perks" for AA EXP. I am tempted. Will try and figure out how to stagger couple of RTWs over 18 months to shoot for EXP. Will see!
I am a bit more encouraged by the recent "rumor" that JL might stay with OW.
As always, I appreciate your sharing.
