Nice work and thanks for sharing, I am collector of older and obscure AA fares. A few things from messing with this...
Lots of routings possible, I did CAI-AUH-LHR on EY, too bad it isnt an F fare! Tried LAX routings, must exceed MPM.
The $800 AA YQ can be sliced to $300 or so if you end-on-end an appropriate fare to mask the YQ calculation. These AA unreatricted fares have no restriction on EoE ticketing. LH is best avoided as it adds $175 YQ for that short flight.

BOS-CAI (LH)
CAI-PVD (BA/AA)
PVD-EZE (AA)
EZE-BOS (AA)
BOS-CAI (AA/BA)
CAI-BOS (LH)
HOWEVER, in this example, the AA segments in J would yield nearly 60k EQM. Note: I didn't list the full routings (with stops) above (e.g. CAI-PVD is actually CAI-LHR-PHL-PVD).

Finally got LA to work by using SNA, which is only 10 minutes from home anyway.
At 4.2x, more than 100,000 EQMs for EXPs. Very cool.

What are the EQDs? If anyone posts EQMs, would you be so kind as to post the EQD's as well and list all the formulas you use to compute EQMs and EQDs ? Please ? Thank you.

Has anyone tried over the Pacific?
Also I just want to point out that USH is a popular starting point for cruises to Antarctica. Someone give me cash and I will do this lol.
