this tool is pretty accurate when it comes to flying on delta but what about when flying on partner airlines????

i have an upcoming trip on cz & wanted to get an idea how many mqms i would earn....does anyone have any experience with a partner airline, cz in particular????

Plenty of places to get the base distances (like gcmap.com, etc.), then multiply by percentage listed in table above for your fare class. Is this really that complicated?

What is your routing and fare classes? Are you making sure to use the advance routing feature to specify CZ codings (i.e. PVG-CZ.N-ICN for CZ N fare between PVG and ICN)?
