Again, thanks soooooooooooo much VFR ! This tool is amazing!

Another FB calculation error to report.

Variables:
Flying Blue - Gold
Input: YYZ-AMS-CDG-TLV-CDG-DL.Z-DTW-DL.Z-YYZ $2438

The 2 DL segments are calculating CDG-DTW 2964 and DTW-YYZ 375
Not sure how it is arriving at these numbers. Should be 6916 and 875 (based on 500 min) respectively.

Delta distance based earn on FB chart:Cabin and booking class earning (expand spoiler)

Spoiler
 


Also to note: FB starts from a minimum of 500 mi when using distance.
And Elite Bonus applies for distance as follows:
Silver: 50% bonus
Gold: 75% bonus
Platinum: 100% bonus

Important note: Milage bonus is added to Class based distance value.
For example:
DL CDG-DTW 3952 base miles in Z class for Gold: (3952 x 1.00) + (3952 x 0.75) = 6916

Lastly, Brim accelerator apparently has null impact on segments that are distance based earn on partners. I will test this next month on one of my trips.
