Perhaps? I don't see this as game changing for xONEx popularity because baec status runners are used to 1-2 gbp per tier point. If baec gold was achieved with 3000 gbp spend, are they really going to do DONEx fares?

However on a side note, I think Finnair status is going to be very popular from now on, along with Iberia.

Are there any other countries in top 10 or so?
 

Thanks for this izzik
Should Egypt be on the list, and if so, where does it stand?

Mauritius is MRU.
Not sure re your comment about Egypt but as many have mentioned, CAI origination is now much more expensive than any of these and thus nothing worthwhile.

No, not game changing, but potentially far better value on QR/AY than point-to-point fare based spend with BA.

Potentially...if they can make the RTW routing rules work.
But most travelers want simple round-trips.
We'll see..!

Please may I ask what is the longest distance which has been achieved, or which is conceivable on a oneworld explorer fare. Would it be possible to put 50,000, or even 60,000 miles on it? Or more? Many thanks!

Who knows?

Which anyone here knows of, or has achieved.

There are many posts on this subject. 80k is possible on a DONE6 . Even a DONE3 can get 65K. I find a DONE4 is an easy 65k+ from OSL or TYO. Two of the cheapest starting points.

Having just requalified for BAEC Gold from scratch on a DONE5 (more as a by product than an objective) I won’t necessarily be doing it again just to achieve that goal. But I’m happy to consider it as an alternative to say a round trip to the Far East, Australia or NZ (plus the potential for a nested or additional trip out of it) on economic grounds without necessarily maximizing the sectors and TPs.

But, having worked up a few of the flights under the new system, I would have easily qualified for Silver just on the four JR and QR sectors I flew. I might work out what it would all be under the new system as I know the revenue elements for the BA and AA legs?

Crazy that you’ll get more TPs from a DONEX, rather than a AONEX, on certain airlines!

No, I would not have qualified for Gold as only just under 15,000 TPs total under the new system, as opposed to 1760 under the old/current. Too many BA and AA legs!

How are they separating the total fare paid for BA/AA fare-based credits?

Basically, it appears to be the total cost, minus the taxes and fees (but not the airline fees) divided by the total mileage and then multiplied by the mileage for each leg on BA, AA............near enough.

Way off topic.
For questions - comments about BAEC changes far better in the BA forum Not here

This is actually extremely useful information and I value it.
