2015 Segment Count
 

Lot's of talk about the folks who rack up big AQMs each year, but what about those of us who rack up the segments (AQS or equivalent). Someone described it as Comfort Warriors vs Road Warriors.

Looking for the number of segments you will fly in 2015. Doesn't matter if AC or other airline, and doesn't matter what class, or whether it was paid, or on points.

It looks like I will have 211 segments in 2015, which equates to 133 1-way flights.

About 202 of those segments were on AC, and would have earned approx 101,784 AQMs had they all been Flex purchases, or just over 500 AQM per segment.

As I fly on an unlimited flight pass I do not earn AQS or AQMs per flight. I have been tracking manually to prove that unlimited flight pass is cheaper than buying flex tickets.

A bit over 100k Q miles. 34 segments.

I've got ~46k from 61 segments and all on AC. I have 4 more segments this year which will add ~15k AQM from flying UA.

The large majority of my AC flights are on DH3s. If not for a TATL trip, plus a couple of flights across the country, I would have averaged under 500 miles per segment. My regular YXT<->YVR trip clocks in at 431 miles.

27k AQM on 58 AQS
2 more AQS for about 2,800 AQM left this year

Approx. 30k AQM on 60 AQS for avg. 500 miles/segment travelling YMM-YQM.

36K AQM on 99 AQS ...all AC! Will be 102 by year end. For those wondering, I have spent over $20,000 AQD.

Segment counting is a different can of worms from milage. I have 71 segments this year so far, everyone a direct flights. If I had segment flown, I could have easily had over 140. Maybe a better way would count fare bases over segments?

Like tracon, I'll just do a copy+paste from FlightMemory...

This, by the way, resulted in 162K AQM, of which 111K on AC.

102k is AQM. 62 AQS

Will be at the end of the year:
107 AQM and 67 AQS

No need to brag about how you had it easier on your way to re-qualifying with your direct flights.

It's not about bragging.

Sure it's about bragging :D
Lowest AQS for me was 29 to requalify for SE, hate the fact that I have alreay flown 40 segments and still haven't crossed 100K because of flying more cheap Tango (will happen after the holidays!)

26K AQM / 100 AQS - 95 AC (63 EYW) & 5 UA and I haven't even spend $9K... so, I will go back and target E50K for 2017.

Oooh very low AQM!
Yeah I am screwed for spend next year, usually hitting $8-9K so maybe E75 next year if I am lucky!

Segment flown??? I get SE just by buying the UFP for 10 months. I have no interest in flying this many segments. Find me a direct flight and I am there.
