Just 2 of those and I've got enough MQDs essentially (and then just need to find some more MQMs which should easily cover the remaining $1000 MQDs).
Can it really be this easy?
Ensure you are in the right fare buckets on AF, but yes, flying premium cabins on partner airlines can be a real shortcut to MQDs.
