JFK to LHR 3457 miles
LHR to HKG 5967 miles

Doing a round trip so 18848 miles.

So will I earn 7539 eqd? I am platinum pro currently.

Thanks so much everyone. I should hit exp for the first time if this works out.

Remember that "metal" is not what matters. Who markets the flight (i.e. what's in the flight #)? If that's also "BA" then, yes, it's 30% whether A or F, although the difference is relevant to EQM. If it's "AA" that's a different question entirely.
