Calculator for SQM, SQD, and Aeroplan points
SQM/SQD Cowculator and its source code

canadiancow's TODO list:
  • SAS Go Light fares
  • Basic economy on any airline other than AC (is it just need a fare basis that ends in GT?)
  • Ineligible codeshares, like EY-marketed, EY-operated, AC-ticketed

Adam Smith's TODO list:
  • Add earning for VA
  • Check earning rates for AC basic economy

According to Aeroplan, Turkey would be intra, Israel and Jordan would be rest of world.

Also, here are some AQM missing in the spreadsheet:
CAI MUC 1628 (MS)
FCO CAI 1333 (MS)
IAH PBC 773 (UA)
VIE CPT 5676 (OS)
FRA MRS 482 (LH; 241 credited as intraEU in Y are at 50%)

That would be awesome.

I took a couple of stabs at that and pretty much gave up due to the arbitrary definitions of geographic zones by carrier (CX for example). Glad you may have it sorted. Just in time for the 'new' Aeroplan!

Welcome to FT!

I hadn't even checked the Aeroplan pages on mileage earning before posting that. Thanks

Also, here are some AQM missing in the spreadsheet:
Thanks for sharing this data, I'll add it to the sheet!

I won't add FRA-MRS though, since the true number could be 481 or 482.

New version uploaded. All mileage earning, including the weird exceptions (e.g. AC domestic, AV's intra-Central America, TP LIS-OPO, etc), should now be automatic.

I've tested it with a bunch of airlines and routes and it seems like it's pretty solid, but if anyone finds any errors, let me know.

I accomplished it by breaking down the exceptions in to categories and then just checking if there was an exception for that airline/route combo in each exception category. Anyone who's interested in the nuts and bolts will see that there are now a zillion hidden helper columns to avoid having too many cells with massive formulae.

I hope this is helpful for people.

If anyone else has new mileage data, please share so that we can continue to improve the spreadsheet.

Thanks! Lots of credit for this latest update should also go to @Bohemian1, who did a lot of the heavy lifting and encouraged me to get this done - sorry for not mentioning it in the earlier post, although I did write a credit in to the instructions tab of the sheet

I just had a quick look and there is a TON of heavy lifting in there just to accommodate all of the weird regional and fare-based earning rates that defy easy rules.

Kudos to Adam for upping this tool to a new level!

Well, if I'm going to do that RTW, I'm going to need to know how many miles I'm going to earn, don't I?

Going to try and update the simplified calculator to the updated data source as well this weekend.
Update: Hmm... seems completely broken now. May have pushed Google Sheets to its limit? Gonna take my version offline now.
