YYJ-YVR distance is about 39 miles. For mileage calculation, this would become 250. So a Flex fare (100% earning) would earn 250 AQM. Standard would earn 250 x 25% = 62.5 (rounds to 63) AQM. A business fare would be 250 x 150% = 375%.
In the case of YVR-YEG, the base distance is about 504, so there's no adjustment. Your 126 AQM is 25% of the distance, i.e. it's correct.
Thank you for clarifying.
Hit E35 this yr, and even have a chance for E50 but only if I got 250 for my 10+ yvr-yeg legs in standard...
just like last year where I was under 1000 AQM off of E35, and couldn't finagle my way into it.
