2006 Elite Qualifying Miles 83,996
2006 Elite Qualifying Segments 40

Ratio: 2099.9 miles/segment

I'd be lost if I calculated all my other airline flights. I've flown a lot more ex-SkyTeam this year but haven't kept track of a lot of it.

I think we need to give out (B)uns (In.of) (S)teel awards for that or something.

Unless everyone is reporting actual miles flown (not the 500 minimum) instead of "EQMs", a lot of the numbers are going to be very skewed, especially with the CO 50% EQM business and not earning any EQS with DL but earning full EQMs, plus class of service EQM bonuses...

Hard to be extremely accurate, hm?

About 1500/segment. I always start and end with a very short hop on a SAAB to MSP, so excluding those raises my average to about 2100.

To include the suggestion of DanTravels:
shortest:
YQT-MSP (309 miles)
longest:
MSP-AMS (4166 miles) several times
DTW-FRA (4161 miles)

shortest ever:
CUN-CZM (36 miles)

Mine are pretty simple: Only fly NW metal. Will not pay Biz. I have a commute from the east coast to the west but MHT-DTW (shortest leg) is >500 so actual=EQM and I have yet to fly an award ticket (gave a lot away) this year. But yes, for many it is VERY hard to figure....

2006 Elite Qualifying Miles 45,268

2006 Elite Qualifying Segments 16

for an average of 2829.25

After my trip to spain, that should bump me up over the 3000 marker. Flying through AMS, so that's 2 extra segments, but I think the long trip across the atlantic should make up for that.
