BTW, this is a real example, because apparently there is no direct way to get from LHR to DUB on a oneworld award.
Question: I am concluding that the MPM from CCU to AUS is 12319 miles, and since my CUM miles are 11830, no surcharge is due. Is that correct?
Should I worry about the DUB line that shows CUM exceeding MPM by 5%. For the routing to be valid without surcharge, do only the origin and destination matter, or are the intermediate CUM and MPM important too?
Yes, your total TPM is 11830 and the MPM for CCU-AUS is 12319.
The intermediate values do not matter -- they are just there FYI.
