For those of you new to this Medallion stuff I would recomend that you look into segments.

I was surpised to read post from so called experts saying this "I need 15 domestic flight to reach silver Medallion".

Unless you live in ATL - DTW - MSP it's more likely that you will need a connection flight. This makes it a 4 segment trip....

Even if you do live in a Hub I'm sure you can find a flight with a stop. If you reallyyyyyy want status like some people on the board want then sacrifice a bit.

I only travel about once a month for 8 months then bottom part of the tear it turns into constant road warrior travel.

But if you travel every week or even 2-3 times a week you can make Silver in 3 months tops for the next two years.

My question is why don't segments get more post when it's allot eassier and faster to attain status in this form.

I would never pay for status or go on runs. At one point I did think about it but it's pretty silly. I will take what I earned on my companies coin and be happy for getting it for free.

For those of you running or making it your mission it's allot eassier than you think.
