I have always easily made Elite on miles, not even close on segments.

My new travel pattern, new as of six weeks ago, is 4 segments every two weeks, two on a Dash 8 and two on a CRJ. Commute to work for three days, home the rest, with the odd work iterruption to the sched.

I too have the 30 credit business pass T+, the value is great, can't say enough good things about it. If they were to provide my routes with two class cabin planes, I would buy the Lat pass
