DL route not showing on Velocity mileage calculator, advice pls.

[Deskorpio]

I tried to work out how much VFF points and SC i will earn on flight DL27 ATL-ICN (on Delta metal), using the mileage calculator on VFF website. However ICN is not in the destination list (while NRT is). I hope this is just because the list is outdated, and I would still earn SC on this trip! Does anyone have any experience regarding this?

Thank you!

The calculator is useless. You'll be fine.

Plenty of routes won’t show up on the calculator, it’s pretty useless.
As long as it’s an eligible fare you will earn points and SC’s

You can do a rough guess.
Look on Google how many flight miles it is, and then multiply it with the partner earn points per mile calculator on the VFF website, and then the status.
A few hours ago, I worked out for a member here asking MUC to AUH, and its about right, 710 points, and 20 SC, as the flown sector was under Economy Deal with EY, at 0.25 points per mile flown.
Edit: 7153 flight miles according to airmilescalculator, ATL Hartsfield Jackson -> ICN Seoul multiply it by 0.25/0.5/0.75 depending on subclass of travel.

Just had a look see, looks like its 0.50 points per mile flown (min, no 0.25), with a DL or a VA flight number, and about 40 VFF SC.
Looking at the 5001-8000 flight miles band.

I use www.gcmap.com

Enter ATL-ICN and it will return the distance in miles.

....Eventhough the route doesn’t show on Velocity miles calculator, MattG?

The distance and booking class are important.

Find your booking class.

Find the distance.

Then look up the distance zone.

many thanks to everyone who responded. With your help, I managed to work out that the points and SC earned n this flight will be on Basic Economy (T) fare class. A bit bummed since I thought it would be on W class as it's states as Main Cabin. Anyway all I really need is the SCs to maintain my VFF Gold, so can't complain.
