Q: status credit points on AA

[Myrna]

Just want to update on our trip with AA. Yes, we did do the LAX - TPA (via DFW) with instant upgrade for under $600 each. The LAX - DFW segment "first class" was on a B767 and on time, so very nice and spacious. Luggage was checked through to TPA from LAX. The DFW - TPA segment "first class" was on a B737 delayed for 45 mins, still not bad. The food was good on both flights. We have got the 210 SC points from Qantas for the 2 segments

[We stayed at the Intercontinental in Tampa overnight and took the first flight out of Tampa for Dallas Fort Worth to spend 5 hours with good friends living there, before flying out to London with BA.]

We bought cheap discount Y tickets for the TPA - DFW segment on a B737, but did not receive any FF or SC point because it was Q class. Flight was 30 mins delayed, and no food as expected.

Thanks again, everyone, for your ideas and suggestions.

If you earn points for travel on AA flight numbers then you get SC's (and status bonus).

S and N earn at 50%, O and Q do not earn.

Thanks... I had looked at the table but couldn't work it out some (O & Q) classes were missing. That explains it, cheers.

Bit of a bonus as I wasn't expecting any SCs
