Asia Miles flying QF

[legroom]

Friends

Is there any table somewhere showing the earn rate for Asia Miles flying OW metals e.g. QF ?

I need to see if it's worth the trouble.

Thanks

EDIT

Found the calculator on Asia Miles website

Very easy to find (Did you look?)
Asia Miles - Earn Miles*>*Airline Partners
Asia Miles - Earn Miles > Airline Partners - Qantas Airways

With CXX ffp some partners-fare booking classes are low or nil earning

Bear in mind Asia Miles offers no form of status.

Perhaps the below clarifies it a bit.

I was thinking about QFF, AM and AA miles for a trip coming up (SYD LHR in J on QF as a WP) - before July 1st, 2014.

The starting point is SCs could be ignored

This is what I came up with


[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
[TR]

[TD="align: center"]QF[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]AM[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]AA[/TD]
[/TR]

[TD="align: center"]54,500[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]27,240[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]27,252[/TD]
[/TR]

[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]

[TD="align: right"]F[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]14%[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]14%[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]17%[/TD]
[/TR]

[TD="align: right"]J[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]21%[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]16%[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]23%[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]


Even with the SCs being ignored (which many here would disagree), QF remains quite competitive - to my surprise.

Now, I have not taken into account taxes & charges !!!!

I had thought AA would be more competitive but it seems I was incorrect.

Your thoughts ???

You need to factor in fuel fines, without them any comparison is close to useless, especially with AA.

".... Now, I have not taken into account taxes & charges !!!!..."

Give me time !

As I said, I have not factored those $$ in.

Superficially, AA would be expected to be lower than QF - I am reasonably sure of that.
