I'm currently at 34k AQM, 26 AQS and 10k AQD. I've got the 45k/45 perk for lower requalification

I'm trying to understand how many AQM you actually need. Does your 34K include those YYZ, YYC, and YEG trips? If not, it seems to me like you may not need many miles at all. If you have the lower requalification at 45K, you're 11K short, minus 8K for 2x YVR-YYZ round trip, so down to 3K, and even if your "bunch of" short hops only includes one round trip to each of YYC and YEG, that's going to shave off another 1.8K (assuming booked in Flex), so you're down to 1.2K left...

Or does the 34K already factor in all of those upcoming trips?
