As of last night (31JUL), I've flown on 141 segments in 2009:

UA: 132
AC: 3 [invol re-route due to IROPS]
AY: 2
Air Asia: 2
SQ: 1
WS: 1

I travel weekly between YVR and ATL. Therefore per week I earn
  • 4 segments per week
  • 4740 status miles
  • 9480 redeemable miles (as a 1K you get 100% bonus miles for flying on UA metal)
  • 3 car rentals a week which I credit to LH for 1500 miles (LH gives 500 miles for all locations)

I also have a few trips to Asia/Europe throughout the year as well so if I'm not heading back to YVR I will get the same number of segments.

so....it adds up.... I expect to have another 84 segments left this year landing me at about 225 segments this year.

I have been flying over 200+ segements since January 2005 when I switched to UA. Before then, when I was flying with AC it was closer to around 140 as AC has non-stops and UA requires a connection for virtually every trip I make.

Cheers
