Hi there ... new to Skywards. I have a question about the elite bonus miles, say 25% for Silver. I understand that the bonus is added to the 'base miles' for the class of travel. But how can I find out what the 'base miles' are for a sector?
For example, I am looking at DXB/BKK in F. The Mileage Calculator shows miles earned with no status for Flex and Flex Plus fares as follows:
Flex - 8750 Skyward Miles
Flex Plus - 8750 Skyward Miles
When I factor in Silver status these increase to 9625 for both, which is 10% more than the 'no status' earn rate.
So, I am guessing that the 'base miles' figure is different, but how do I know what this is? As it is obviously less than the Flex/Flex Plus earn amount, it makes the elite bonus less appealing!
