When I fly in Canada, it's mostly direct flights so low AQS. I also fly lowest fare so AQM is 25% of distance flown.
Any advice?
Surprisingly AQD is the easiest to reach out of all the metrics... I guess I go on expensive tango fares

Since you fly mostly in the US an on UA, it's best to switch to UA FF program.
