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.

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

This is odd, I just flew ZRH-SIN and my account shows 6394 miles (LX D).

OSL-ZRH is 885 miles (new distance)

I believe this might mark the third time we've had discrepancies of distances in opposite directions. Perhaps we need to start writing in to try to get this sorted.

Yeah, we could easily update the calculator to support this, and while I have no issue with writing code to handle things that don't make sense, I'd rather this were fixed at the source.

Half the time I know what I'm going to earn flying A-B-A, I just search for A-B and double it. As I suspect many do. So handling this case might not even really help people (unless they're getting the data through Unofficial AC PNR Viewing Tool (cowtool) )

ZRH-AGP on LX in Y posted as 499 vs 500 in cowtool. So the distance is probably 998 vs 999 in cowtool.

Or it could be 997. Which is why we only use distances from fares earning at least 100%.

TP - AGP-LIS SQx
I just wanted to report that the trip below posted with 438 SQM (292 base @ 150%) and SQD compared to below. I am guessing this may have been due to uncertainty as to whether the NI operated flight qualified.
Quite something having this posted within 24hrs (and 24 hrs before the luggage will arrive)!
Appreciate having this tool available and the work it takes!

I've submitted a fix for the TP/NI issue and added the distance to the database.

Your changes will have to pass some validation, and it needs approval before it can merge, so don't worry about breaking anything
Do you need to set up an account on github.com in order to add / change data in the spreadsheet?

Yes. Or just post the data here and someone else can take care of it. The hard part is definitely collecting the data.

LAX to BOS (both directions): 2602
SAN to LAX (both directions): 250 (this is useless).
