Help with points calc

Is someone able to help me calculate the miles/EQMs I will earn as a UA Premier member for the following itinerary?

SYD/SFO - UA business
SFO/FRA - LH business
FRA/BKK - LH business
BKK/SYD - TG business

I'm not sure what I get in the way of miles and EQMs, and which flights qualify. I've done heaps of reading on the UA site and also here but can't figure it out for sure. Thanks in advance.

From my own statements (with 1K having 100% bonus and 2P 25%),
I can confirm and derive for you:
Code:
SYD/SFO  - UA business
  7417 flight miles
 11125 EQM (+50%)
  9271 RDM + 3708 2P bonus
SFO/FRA - LH business
   5699 flight miles
   5699 EQM
   7124 RDM + 1425 2P bonus
FRA/BKK - LH business
   5575 flight miles
   5575 EQM
   6969 RDM (no 2P bonus as no Atlantic route)
BKK/SYD - TG business
   4676 flight miles
   4676 EQM
   5845 RDM
The latter two I derive from my LH statements and the MP rules.
They should still be valid.

A small extra query

How come I don't get any bonus on the FRA/BKK and BKK/SYD legs? I know I don't get the UA 25% bonus, but surely I get a 25% cabin bonus for flying business?

Thanks

These numbers are not right. For SYD-SFO, RDM is 11125. For SFO-FRA, both RDM and EQM are 7124. For both FRA-BKK and BKK-SYD, the 25% class-of-service EQM bonus applies.
Code:
route     class   miles   type     COS    Premier
SYD-SFO   UA C    7417    RDM     +25%     +25%
                          EQM     +50%

SFO-FRA   LH C    5699    RDM              +25%
                          EQM     +25%

FRA-BKK   LH C    5575    RDM
                          EQM     +25%

BKK-SYD   TG C    4676    RDM  
                          EQM     +25%

You are right - managed to missed out on the obvious fact that the OP is a 2P.

Yes you do - I now correct the original map for these two errors.

The bonus applies to RDM not EQM if I don't err. Could you please verify
this? It definitely applies to RDM (as I have that on the statement) but I thought
it did not hold for EQM.
