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

Is there a primer on how to look up what route data is still needing updates? I may have a few odd routes last year and I already have a spreadsheet so I could easily look up what I have and contribute anything useful.

Anything without a value in the "distance" column in https://github.com/scottkennedy/ac-a..._distances.csv

There's nothing to gain by registering for this. It's open source, it's freely available.

Here are my DPs from 2022:
EWR-YUL 330
LHR-YHZ 2866 2846 (Standard fare reported 1423 SQM)
LIS-YUL 3249
LIS-YYZ 3562
NRT-YVR 4674
NRT-YYZ 6415

SCL-YYZ 5332
SFO-YVR 800
SFO-YYZ 2259

YHZ-YOW 592 (740 sqm on Lat - B fare)

Edit: SFO and SCL were award fares so my spreadsheet wasn't from my AP activity history. NRT was a PY fare and when I double-checked the numbers the current calculator is correct.

I don't have time to check this right now, but both your SFO-xxx numbers are wrong.

Yes, and SFO-YYZ is 2251, formerly 2254.

I know those two. I'm suspicious of the others.

What program are these from? The NRT values are already in the calculator and also wrong.

Indeed you are correct. That was an award trip and I forgot that I just copied the gcmap number into my spreadsheet. Speaking of which, the SCL numbers will be wrong too. I think those are the only two award trips in my list, but I'll double-check. I thought about screen-capping distances from my AP history but decided not to. That was perhaps a mistake (I'll edit my post to strike those out and verify the rest separately)

Sorry, all. I thought I was being helpful, but clearly made several mistakes. NRT flights were PY fares. I thought I had taken the actual SQM and divided out the COS bonus, but clearly I did not (I must have left the GCMap numbers in my spreadsheet). YVR-NRT 4656 and NRT-YYZ 6391 matches what's in the calculator. I'll be more careful in the future.

Do some of them still show up in your Aeroplan history? Some of them may be correct, we just like to make sure they are before we put them in

I am pretty sure that these are only 50% of the actual distance if you flew in Economy, so we unfortunately can't use them in the spreadsheet. Both FRA and BRU are well over 600 miles away from BIO.
