My travel coordinator suggested I go through Europe so I asked her to look for a BA itinerary. What she found is a T class (WorlTraveller Plus):

TLV-LHR 2234
LHR-NRT 5993
NRT-LHR 5993
LHR-TLV 2234

So from the AA website it looks like I get 10% bonus miles and a 1.5 EQP/mile rate for T class.

So if I do a PLT challenge I think I'd get PLT on the return NRT-LHR segment (on my birthday

). All together I guess I'd end up with the following:

(2234*2 + 5993*2) * 1.1 + 5993 = 24092 miles.

This all sound like sound logic?

No, I think you do better than that - the 100% bonus begins on the flight on which you pass 10K q-pts, thus.

Code:

                 Mi      Cum Q-pts 	 Cum Mi 
TLV-LHR 	 2,234 	 3,351 	          2,457 
LHR-NRT 	 5,993 	 12,341 	 15,043 
NRT-LHR 	 5,993 	 21,330 	 27,628 
LHR-TLV 	 2,234 	 24,681 	 32,319
