Therefore if you credit the whole trip to QFF you'd get sthg like that (just an estimate):
LHR-SYD BA 10600 miles at 100% = 10600 pts
SYD-LAX QF 7500 miles at 100% = 7500 pts
LAX-LHR BA 5500 miles at 25% = 1375 pts
Total credit to QFF 19475 points. AA would give you much less (although burning rates are better).
And if she has at least one activity every three years, her QF account will stay alive and her points will never expire.
Almost forgot: you can credit EI flights to QFF too, although at a rate of 0.7 only. This would give you an additional 390 points for DUB-LHR-DUB.
Oh, my goodness. Thanks so much for pointing that out about the BA LHR-SYD trip. In my mind, that is the largest accumulation of points she can acquire and would really help in earning at least an award with her limited travel. She will keep visiting her daughter and family in Australia and I know enjoys traveling around that region.
I've enrolled her in QF FF plan and will credit to there this trip.
Appreciate all the advice so much.
