What's the current EQM formula for first class tickets?
I flew yesterday on a first class ticket in I.
DEN-SEA-SJC.
The distances are 1024 and 696 miles.
My EQM went up by 4523 miles.
How does one come up with that number for those flights? Normal preb pandemic rules bring it to 3010.
Where's the 1513 extra coming from?

Ignore, I misread the question as RDM.

2.63 × (1024 + 696) =
2.63 x (1720) =
4523.6 =
4523 truncated

Using the 2.63 formula I wanted to see if my math is correct.
7 flights in I fare with a total of 29296 BIS miles. 29296 x 2.63 = 77048 eqm?
Not bad to make OWE for $2500 when comparing to AA. Reminds me of the RT Europe fares of $400 when qualifying on miles only and every 100,000 BIS = 300,000 rdm.

I am very hopeful for that myself, but with the mixed messages we’ve received, I wouldn’t feel comfortable suggesting to someone that that will be the case.
