I’m still a little confused. Hainan usually have really good Y and J fares to China. For J, there is often a COS bonus in addition to an additional bonus as stated in the third column on AS’ website. Do they all count towards MQM? Furthermore, once I achieve MVP Gold or MVP Gold 75K, there is another bonus on top right? Does that count towards MQM as well?
