OK, Here goes. I sincerely appologize for the delay.

I plan on departing EFD and goint to MAF with a ten segment total run. Six segments on day one and four on the return.

EFD to AUS => 2 segments
AUS to EFD => 2 segments
EFD to MAF => 2 segments, thats all for day one.

MAF to AUS => 2 segments
AUS to EFD => 2 segments
10 segment trip.

This can be done with a 6:00AM or 8:00AM departure out of EFD with a 10:00 PM arrival at MAF.

Eight segemnts can be done with back to back roundtrips to either AUS, SAT, or DFW depending on the fare offered or city preferred. If this is done, the flight connect times are very tight and does not leave much room for delays. I almost had this plan blown when the President Putin (not sure of spelling) departed from EFD to go have BBQ in Crawford TX with the George W. I have often referred to this type of flight plan as the Great Texas Mileage/Segment Run. A good run can be made when the fares drop to $60 each way to the above listed cities out of EFD.

Good Luck!!
