Explanation: The formula calculates total miles earned by multiplying the base flight distance by fare class and elite status multipliers.
Details: Accurate miles calculation helps travelers understand their loyalty program earnings, plan reward redemptions, and maximize the value of their frequent flyer programs.
Tips: Enter flight distance in miles, fare class multiplier (typically 1-2), and elite status bonus as a decimal (e.g., 0.25 for 25%). All values must be within specified ranges.
Q1: What is the fare class multiplier?

A: Most miles earned through flights are eligible for reward redemption, but always check your specific loyalty program terms and conditions.
Q4: Do partner airlines earn the same miles?
