Average segment length
 

Looking over my data for 2012 vs 2011, I was surprised to see how similar my "average segment length" (=Status miles/Status segments) was for each year:

2012: 80420/42 = 1915
2011: 123423/60 = 2057

How does this compare to others?

2012: 3707.15 miles/segment

Slightly fudged upwards due to 50% int'l status mile bonus + COS bonus.

2011: can't remember, but something around 2000 miles/segment.

If your destinations are consistent, you'd expect the average mileage to be consistent as well

That being said my average is barely above the 500 minimum

Status miles/No. of segments: 2620.

However this does not include the effect of minimum miles or COS bonus, or segments which gained no miles (something like 6), or gained less than 100%.

AC only, without CAS but including some four segments with minimum 500 miles, 2692.

AC+others Star, not including CAS, not counting no accumulation segments in the count, 2173. Why less? Mainly because a good number of inter-European segments, which are short, and some only got 50%.

I remember years when my average was ~7000 miles.

This year my average will be 0. Or lower.

My average seems to always be around a thousand miles a segment, but that's all Canada and US travel.

75789 / 59 = 1285

15% international, 25% USA, 60% domestic Canada

Same here. Didn't cross an ocean in 2012.

37,947 status miles for 51 segments in 2011 => 744 miles/segment
64,898 status miles for 52 segments in 2012 => 1,248 miles/segment
A big 68% increase over 2011

45% Domestic / 43% USA / 12% International (ratio by segments, not miles)

60621 status miles / 57 segments = 1063 miles / seg for me.

All status miles in 2012 were domestic/transborder with a fair number of 500 mile minimums thrown in the mix as well.
