Domestically, it appears that most "full EQM" fares are more than double the ".5 EQM" fares.
The amount of incorrect information in this post is staggering. As has already been pointed out,
all AA-coded fares that earn miles will earn full Q-miles. The ratios referenced refer exclusively to Q-points, which are not the same thing as Q-miles, and should not be treated the same.
