Earning AA miles on Qatar
EQDs based on percent of distance flown based on fare class. Assuming you are in Business class, would either be 20% of miles flown (R,I) or 25% (J,C,D).

thanks. So if it’s a 15k mile return trip it’s either $3k or $3750 in EQD. Not that good.

FYI, I try to take at least one QR round trip each year to help requal as an EP. And as a treat and forced vacation for the wife and I. I look for a QR J fare at no more than 2400.00 RT. Depending on routing I can grab between 3800-4200 EQD’s. I’m still trying to use my LAX-KUL tickets that were scheduled for early April this year. Cheers.

If you’re looking to bag more EQD’s vs fare paid. You’re not getting the best deal. But if you’re looking to fly one of the best airlines in the world and were just curious on the EQD earn? There ya go. Honestly, you can’t lose. Enjoy!

I believe that was being talked about but hasn't happened yet. But my recollection was from a few months ago, so it could have changed since then.

Huh. You're probably right. My GF flew to DOH this past spring and I can't remember if it was BA or QR - something tells me it was BA as the flight was AA coded: BOS-LHR-DOH.

I found the fare on google flights and the re-direct was to QR. I'm looking for the best J ticket to any open country in Europe over the Thanksgiving week via a OW airline. I have an itinerary in place already but am going to cancel it since BUD won't let me in. I'll have $2400 coming back refund from BA for that trip.

is it better to book AA-coded QR-operated flights or QR-coded and operated flights when it comes to maximizing EQD and EQM?

Note that a QR R fare is not eligible for Al Mourjan lounge access and does not include advance seat assignments (OWS/OWE can select seats for free).
