Hi there, I need the flyer talk experts please. I need to go to LHR and was trying to calculate best option. Not really worried about the MQDs as I am going for Platinum and have already obtained the AMEX waiver.
Details
Oct 10 to Oct 21 LAX to LHR direct flights both ways. Economy Delight. Per matrix it is about 10,880 miles round trip.
.
On VS
Showing up as OL8O87C3 so looks like O class fare earning 25% skymiles and 100% mqms = 2720 skymiles, and 10,880 + 8,704(.8*10880 for plat) = 19,584 mqms
On Delta
Showing up as S class fare on the screen shows as 2500 skymiles and 16,368 mqms
Prices are same on both.
Seems like an easy pick VS
Am I missing something?
