That is my formula getting you to it, the hard way, almost all on single aisle equipment. Don't get me started on Embraers. My top year was 183 segments, I have no idea if my Canadian numbers were included.<br /><br />I've calculated how many total 24 hour days(its many months) I've spent in an AC seat and its a number that didn't impress my wife. I'm ban<br />ed from telling it a dinner parties!<br /><br />As YEG_SE4Life says the real benefit of multi miler miles is the staff know you and go out of their way for you. On board the SD has no idea if you are a 1MM or a 3MM. Last week on a YVR-YYZ, there were 6 MM out of 16 in the front of a 321. When you tell them its actually 3+ million, they really appreciative of the loyalty and say it.
<br />@YOW3millionmiles<br />So I can add you to the MM roll call wiki thread as 3MM reached Dec 2017? <br /><br />
