If you have general questions about how to earn SQM/SQS/SQD, please see the status qualification thread.
If you have received an incorrect amount of SQx/points, please see the thread on missing/incorrect flight activity.

Anyone have any recent experience with native AC flight numbers booked through another airline?
In the past (or at least, the calculator was written this way) W and G were considered Flex for transborder flights, and Standard for everything else.
With G now at the bottom of the pack, I'm not sure if anything else has changed.

I'll probably deploy that as is, but I have zero faith in this calculating the right numbers in Y if it's not branded.

With all the traffic in the thread on transiting GRU to/from EZE and EZE mini-Do thread, I'm shocked no one has reported the YYZ-EZE and/or YUL-EZE direct mileages (if flying the same number all the way through). Does anyone have them?
As travel picks up, please also remember that the accuracy of this calculator is enhanced by FTers sharing data points on mileages for routes they've flown (on fares that earn at least 100%).

[MENTION=771683]royal757[/MENTION], you mentioned flying YUL-FRA-NCE. Either of those segments in a fare that earned at least 100% miles so you can give us the correct base miles?
[MENTION=195318]Plumber[/MENTION], [MENTION=321943]172pilot[/MENTION], [MENTION=177795]john2003[/MENTION], [MENTION=779142]CappuccinoAddict[/MENTION], [MENTION=757018]YLWflyer[/MENTION], do any of you have the base mileage on YYZ-EZE and/or YUL-EZE (if you took the same flight number all the way down or back)?
[MENTION=897035]yeeg[/MENTION], thanks, although we already have that one. If the source shows up as "Aeroplan" when using the calculator or PNR viewer, or it's listed in the distances CSV file in the "distance" (right-most) column, we already have it.

Adam Smith I have AC 096 YUL-EZE as 5,620 as base mileage. I took AC 097 back through YUL so do not have the current mileage for YYZ-EZE.

Unfortunately I have never done the trough trip. The arrival time was always too late so my trips to EZE have always been on UA YYZ-IAH-EZE. I do have YYZ-SCL but I assume thats already in the database.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, we've had those for a while - see this post on how to figure out whether we have the mileage 
Thanks!
Lots of new distances left unknown though. We've got a lot of the big domestic routes and some of the main Canada-international ones (e.g. Canadian hubs to LHR all good, and YYC/YYZ-FRA, but no YUL/YVR-FRA), but tons of routes still not updated.
One could argue we don't really "need" any of them, since the haversine formula will generate a pretty close result, but there's some value in having the 100% accurate data since some FTers like to cut it close, and because AC almost always credits less than the haversine formula suggests it should (and even credits less than the old Aeroplan program), and with a bunch of flights, the 3 miles there, 5 miles here, and so on, can add up to missing out on that 50 miles that means the difference between making a status or a threshold gift/eUp or whatever.

If the source shows up as "Aeroplan" when using the calculator or PNR viewer, or it's listed in the distances CSV file in the "distance" (right-most) column, we already have it.
And for those who use the PNR viewer (I've pointed it out to the cow), note that any <250 mile flights show the predicted miles credited as the miles actually flown, not the 250 mile minimum, so you may end up with a better cushion than expected. Also any COS bonus miles will be based on the minimum, not the physical miles flown. (Perhaps this was mentioned at some point above, but I missed it.)
