We have 5 legs in the US on AA plus DFW-HND on AA. It seems that I earn significantly less on AA flights when using Iberia FF program. Under the old program, I calculated that I would just miss getting Emerald level with Iberia and I would meet the minimum with a few additional flights outside the RTW trip. Now I am not sure at all. So if I cannot achieve Emerald, which is the best FF scheme to use for the RTW trip.
