If you have general questions about how to earn SQM/SQS/SQD, please see the status qualification thread.
If you have received an incorrect amount of SQx/points, please see the thread on missing/incorrect flight activity.

Thanks for this. I think we should just keep the Aeroplan distances for now.
One of two things will happen. AC will either 'fix' their DB to match what we had before or we will get anecdotal evidence on individual routes as people book. But the current distances will be close enough in the meantime. Unless you can mine that data elsewhere.

I also realized the accumulation for standard/basic fares is inconsistent on AC's site.
https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...ification.html has a "before 2021" and "starting Jan 1" table, but neither match https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...ir-canada.html
The calculator currently uses the second page.

If anyone has can confirm or update any distances that the calculator says come from "Old Aeroplan", please post them.
I've just added a few more that people have sent me.
They have consistently stayed the same, or decreased. I suspect AC is aware that the diameter of the earth has been slowly shrinking.
https://github.com/scottkennedy/ac-a..._distances.csv is the master list of distances. Anything without a "distance" value is unreported in the new program. "old_distance" is (hopefully intuitively) the amount credited in the old program.

This is really going to kill my party trick of rhyming off a whole bunch of Aeroplan distances to show what a hardcore frequent flyer I am 😥

Let's hope people swiftly update the calculator with the new distances so I can learn those and keep it in my repertoire
