As such, I'm tempted to fly Ethiopian Airlines for my yyz - NBO return flight this fall. It's cheaper than AC - and amounts to more AQM - because all AC itineraries to NBO include partners that offer lower mileage- 25% - 50%.

Is my understanding correct that partner mileage is credited as AQM mileage?

Thanks!

First off, welcome to FT.

The mod will move your post because it doesn't belong in this thread, but since you're new, I'll be nice and respond here.

If operated by Ethiopian, click on this link.

As long as the booking class matches one of the booking classes in the chart, you'll get the associated % of AQM. (either 100% or 125%)

However, note for 2017, you also have to attain the necessary Altitude Qualifying Dollars to attain status.
