That trip would earn you:
15,4K SFO-DEL
1.6K DEL-BOM
1.6K BOM-DEL
15,4K DEL-SFO
So 34,000 miles. If you do not fly 2 Aegean segments beforehand, that means you will just hit Silver (10,000 miles carrier over).
If you *do* first fly 2 Aegean segments you will become silver after your outbound flights; and will end up with 24,000 miles towards your Gold qualification. Then you either need to fly 4 additional Aegean segments, or, another 24,000 miles with another airline to reach Gold.

Other than being overly formalistic, I fully agree with what Xandrios wrote. @

Hello
i used a mileage calculator website and just punched in the itinerary and gave me 50k plus after adding 200%.. but now I get the calculations. I used to be United 1k several years ago but there’s no point crediting their because of pqd.
My my company is flying me out twice on the same route but just don’t where to credit them. I would definitely become gold on 2 round trips and I have no plans of flying a3.
i might have to credit Asiana if the 2nd round trip doesn’t happen end of this year

Milecalc asks for the booking class bonus which is not 200% but 100%, as it is added to the actual distance. That's why it's possible to select negative percentages as well.
