On runways used by international commercial flights, a threshold must be present (we’ll look into that later in this article). Non-precision runways often look similar to visual runways but feature threshold and aiming point markings. A runway threshold identifies the beginning of a runway.

Note that there are several higher thresholds at which you can earn even more systemwide upgrades, as Americans Loyalty Point Rewards system has thresholds all the way up to 5,000,000 annual Loyalty Points (though I cant imagine many people will achieve that!).

Chiang noted, The threshold that you really need for realistic electric aviation is about 1,000 watt-hours per kilogram. But he asserted that the 1,000 watt-hour threshold would be practical for regional electric aviation, which accounts for about 80% of domestic flights and 30% of the emissions from aviation.

But for a long 10,000 foot runway, if you turn final 4 miles from the airport center, youre actually closer to 3 miles from the runway threshold, so you may have to adjust your calculation for long runways. That works well for short runways, say 3,000 feet or less. Heres the tip. And you dont have to do any math.

Admittedly this is a very high threshold, so youd have to be loyal to United for a long time to earn that (for example, youd need to fly 100,000 miles per year for 40 years). If you earn four million lifetime miles with United MileagePlus then you get lifetime Global Services status, and you can even share that with a companion.
