- Do I earn miles on a codeshare flight?
- Miles post based on the airline actually operating the aircraft, not the airline whose flight number you booked, with one important exception: a few programmes key their partner rates on the marketing airline instead. Delta is one of them. Enter both codes when they differ and each programme is priced the way that programme actually does it. United goes by who issued the ticket instead: on a ticket whose number starts with 016, eligible flights earn from the fare, partner flights included, so tell us the ticket issuer to see a United figure.
- What if I do not know my booking class?
- Leave it blank. A programme that prices by fare class will say the class is not listed rather than guess one for you, because a guessed letter can be worth three times the right answer on the same flight.
- Why is a programme showing "not yet covered"?
- It means we have no verified earning rule on file for that programme and that airline, so there is nothing to compute from. We would rather show you a blank we can explain than a number we made up. Every rate on this page carries the date it was last checked against the programme's own published terms.
- Do you rank the programmes for me?
- Only when we can do it honestly. Ranking by redeemable value needs a published cash value for every programme in the comparison, and we do not have one for all ten yet. When a value is missing the results are listed in a fixed order and labelled as unranked, rather than sorted in a way that would quietly present the alphabet as a recommendation.
- Do you store my flights?
- No. Nothing you type here is written to our database. A ticket you upload is parsed once, then deleted in the same request, so no copy of the document is kept and none of the details we read off it are saved. Your results stay in your browser unless you sign in and explicitly choose to save them. We never see your inbox and never ask for airline passwords.

Estimates based on published earning rules as of the dates shown. Airlines decide what actually posts.
What the Flight Earnings Calculator covers today
Ten crediting programmes, each with the elite currency that actually drives its status and the date we last checked its published rules. A programme shows not yet covered on your results whenever we hold no verified rule for it and the airline you flew, which is the honest answer rather than an invented rate. 9 of 10 currently have at least one rule on file.
