UA segment run from ORD
Hello,

I am willing to perform a segment run to comfort my 1K qualification for next year.
What routes can I use from ORD on UA/CO/US (can be mixed) to perform this during a week-end?

What price should I expect to pay per segment?

Thanks a lot,

Olivier

how many segments do you need?

sometimes, going via mke or originating there can save money....

any specific weekend?

good luck...

If you find any good segment runs post 'em here pls; I'm also looking for segments and ORD is a quick 90min drive from here. I'm no good at finding these on my own.

What tools allow you to search for maximum segments like that? I get to book my own travel for work and want to try and maximize segments in a bid for premier exec status this year.

A good spot to start looking in some route maps, so you know exactly what connects where. For instance.

MKE doesn't connect to IAD
ORD doesn't connect to JFK

Naturally MKE>JFK requires 3segments minimum one way. You can also get an extra seg going between ORD<>IAD pretty easy as DAY/CMH/RIC/ROC seem to pop up quite a bit.
