Extremely high/low average segment lengths?
 
I'm cheating to get to SE this year with an unlimited flight pass so I have a freakishly high average segment length:

For 2010: 94,465 Air Canada Status Miles
For 2010: 10 Air Canada Status Flight Segments
= 9446.5 miles/segment..

Was just curious to see if anybody (especially with all butt-in-seat miles) had any other extremely high or low ratios?

I thought unlimited passes were flat in terms of milage (ie x pts /month)

I presume its 10,000 status miles w/0 segments.

Even with 60K in unlimited flight passes, that's still over 3400 miles per segment, an impressive feat :)

P.S. Matt, how on earth did you get a USAir Chairman's comp?

Due to unlimited passes I also have over 100k status miles with 8 status segments. A reality of getting a set number of guaranteed AE miles per month regardless of segments and miles. Keep in mind it is hardly cheating if offered by AC.

what is the cost for your flight pass to get SE?

I'm not sure what constitutes extremely high or low, but I have about 3,000 miles / segment. No flight passes.

I thought I was unusual, I'm averaging 2,553 miles / segment. At 11 segments I'm one RT away from requalifying for E. Last year I averaged 2,122 miles / segment and I blame the increase in BD abandoning LHR-DUB -- I keep finding EI has the only reasonable connections and/or the only reasonable prices. Oh, this is without any flight passes.

Not sure about "freakishly" low, but... 38,508/58 segs = 664 miles/seg.

For some reason I have a vision of Robert Downey Jr. and the Iron Man theme in my head...

You mean the first five words of the theme song? probably true...

Not sure how relatively low I am but I've got 32353 miles and 19 segments equalling 1702 per segment

What's the cost of the unlimited passes and how many guaranteed miles do you get per month?

Prices are different depending on the type of pass. Check out the AC website for pricing.
