I was sitting waiting for my flight a few days ago and as I was tracking the incoming aircraft on united.com, I started drilling down on the ‘Where is this aircraft coming from?‘ link. I wanted to see far I could go (10 segments) and see where all had the aircraft been in the last few days. What I found was fascinating. Here it is:

Aircraft type: 772

Segments: 10

Cities visited: 6

Continents visited: 3

Longest segment: 6,921 miles

Total miles flown: 53,410 miles

Here are individual segments:
