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

New data point: YQR-YXE is 148 miles.

I got the data from a colleague (basic member), somewhat surprised that we did not have any information on this route before.

We don't have many basic members on FT

The calculator is open source (see wiki). People are free to edit the file and contribute the mileage directly. For those unable or unwilling to do so, posts in this thread are likely the most efficient way of sharing the information.

Over the past few days I've been adding continuous deployment to various cowtools. I've now done it here too, mainly so that as soon as we update the CSV in GitHub, it's available to users, without requiring me to manually deploy it.

There are still a few other things I need to do though, such as making the PNR tool call into this one, rather than compiling it as a static library, so that it will also get the latest distances without having to manually deploy it.

But for now, I think it's a great improvement.

Does anyone have the new value for YUL-EWR? Cowtool still says 'Old Aeroplan' for this one with a value of 331. I'm cautiously planning my next trips to hit SE and I'm literally short by 2 SQMs so I'm hoping they could come from this.

I wouldn't count on it. The general trend has been a slight decrease in most distances. Some have gone up and some have stayed the same, but you're more likely to lose 2 than gain 2.

Pretty much what I thought. Thanks though!

It it doesn't earn at least 100%, we can't use the number unfortunately.

NRT SIN posted as 1662 at a rate of 50%...3324 is the mileage

I could have sworn that I was supposed to get 70% based on ANA booking class at the time but was only paid on 50%.
Lets see what SQ posts at as I am expecting 75% for what I am lead to believe.
