Average segment length
Hi,
Just saw my YTD totals for United Mileage Plus. 71810 miles in 14 segments. That makes it 5129 miles per segment. And boy does my butt feel it sometimes.
Anyone have a larger average segment mileage?

from my openflights so far for 2011:
overall:
50 segments
101555 miles
United:
14 segments
22355 miles
Lifetime United:
56 segments
108081 miles
so I guess an average of 1930 miles/UA segment

I'm not sure which is worse: your average segment length, or the year I qualified for US Chairmans Preferred on segments. 200 segments in a single year is no fun.

I seem to have an average of 2551 for this year.
Last year, I had 5255, though. But only in the rather trivial sense that I only took two United flights last year.
k_jupiter: Out of curiosity, do you do your domestic US flying on another airline? Or are your domestic flights cancelled out with a bunch of 6000+ milers? Or do you just not fly domestically in the US at all?

I feel for you....
Have you found that your pressure equalization changed from all the take offs and landings? I use to have terrible problems when I flew 30 or 40 times a year in the 80's. Now I don't even use hard candy.
