So how do you calculate your MQD on a mixed operated airline flight? I just booked LAX-DXB for Thanksgiving week for 190k mqm in J.
Outbound:
LAX-PDX: DL metal
PDX- AMS: DL metal
AMS-DXB: KL metal
Inbound:
DXB-CDG: AF metal
CDG-YVR: AF metal
YVR-LAX: WJ metal
Now I only expect to receive mqm/mqd on the Delta metal flights. How will this be calculated? I'll be around 13k mqd at the time, so I'll be cutting it close. Paid J is $6k-$9k rt, so that's not an option. One stop on KL and AF is only $750 rt in main, but there is no GUC availability on those options, even though I don't think the DL diamond agent tried very hard looking. There were some 2 stop options through SLC, but only the transatlantic flights would be upgradeable. Of course I'll keep trying to use my GUC on the AF/KL flights, as that would be the easiest option to satisfy the MQD requirement for Diamond medallion.
