Can I qualify for elite membership based on flown segments?
Yes. To achieve AAdvantage Gold status you must fly at least 30 segments in one calendar year or fly 60 qualifying segments during the calendar year to achieve AAdvantage Platinum status or, effective 2006, fly 100 qualifying segments during the calendar year to earn AAdvantage Executive Platinum membership. You can also achieve elite status by earning the required number of qualifying miles or points in the calendar year.
