35 weeks of travel needed to hit 140 segments
Not really I am sitting at 170 or so on DL, and have had issues the last month or so of only getting half credit on segments. Fly out Monday AM client site after lunch All day Tuesday client, Tuesday night Fly to next client Wed/ Thursday meetings Fly home Thursday night. 6 Segments a week. Works out to almost 300 a year. As long as they are short flights it is not that bad. A long flight to me is anything with meal service. I have only had a couple all year The issue I worry about is weather in ATL. One delay can through my whole schedule off for the week.
