MilesBuzz! - 2002 YTD flight miles

With all the talk about business travelers flying less I had an active year in the air with at least 175K domestic credited flight miles.

Anyone else?

What have we got for YTD flight miles?

Had my highest total ever at slightly over 150K.

Around 165K - which is my highest ever.

About 230.000 including roundtrips FRA-HKG (opening a new office there) and three times FRA-SYD ....

Hope 2003 will be less flying ...

I will close 2002 with 125,219 actual miles on Northwest and 2,991 actual miles on American. I flew more in 2002 than in any previous year.

My most active year also.

All airlines, paid: Approx 260,000 air miles

-plus-

All airlines, free award travel: Approx 60,000 air miles.

235,000 last year down to about 180,000 this year. Sme number of trips, clients were just closer

This is not quite in the league with most of you, but 2002 was definitely up for me.

From 1984 to 2001, I averaged 71K+ each year. For 2002, I was over 100K (102k+) for the first time.

Gosh, you folks are in the big leagues, indeed. The bad news is that my miles are way down this year. The good news is that I've been spending a lot more time at home.

About 180K miles flown (103k AA, 61k AS, UA, DL,WN the balance), my most active year ever. Plan to only fly about 150K next year.

Thats good news ,indeed. I envy you.

112K, all for pleasure though not all pleasurable. Probably going to fly 30% less in 2003 (stay put longer, rather than short sorties all over the place), even in F flying is getting to be a drag. Those of you doing more than 200K a year have my respect and my sympathy.

Too many miles this year (214,000+ on American alone). I plan to do a heck of a lot less flying next year.

I am basically pruning most of my DC/NYC shuttle flights. [Delta loses 30 to 48 of these roundtrips, which were already a large pruning from 1999 and 2000.] I also plan to prune back on my US-South American flights and those site visits will be semi-monthly. [UA loses 4-6 of these roundtrips annually.] I plan to prune back on my US to India trips [Lufthansa/UA loses 10-12 of these roundtrips.]

The only thing that will gain is Europe-India (which will be handed over to British Airways and Lufthansa) and India-US (handed over to BA and Lufthansa). Europe-NYC/DC may gain (if India-US returns are not as cheap as I have been led to believe), and I will try to keep the Europe-NYC on American as much as possible, and thus keep EXP on AA.

Max. travel target for 2003 = 240k, with 140k on OneWorld, 60k on Star Alliance, 25k on Delta and a few domestic stragglers (15k)on NW/Midwest Express on my way home to the parents. If things go really well, maybe I can get this down to 130k on OneWorld and 45k on Star.

About 190K for me this year, if you include both paid and award travel.

235,000 miles in 2002 (55% Delta, 45% United, with negligible flying on others).

THis question made me add them all up

OK

*A - 140,779
OW - 139,252
NW - 15,103
BA - 31,660 (transatlantic not booked to AA)
KA - 18,994
JL - 42,515
MISC - 25,000ish

Total 413,303

Should exceed 500K in 2003 (something I am NOT happy about http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif )

Mix is about 90% international or Domestic trips to Gateway cities - 98% paid F where avilable and C where no F - about 50% of total on RTW tickets.

just over 100k status miles in Air Canada's Aeroplan (mix of flying on LH, MX, UA, BD and mostly AC)

60k status miles with LH Miles and More program (mix of flying on MX, UA, BD, AC and about half with LH)

Another 30k miles flown on reward travel

Another 3k status miles with Air China flying domestically in China

Another 7k miles flown around China and Beijing-Hong Kong for which I get no status but which I have earned some miles in LH Miles and More.

Total, about 200k, probably closer to 150k actual miles when class of service bonuses etc are taken off.

Lower than in 2000 & 2001 which is a good thing! Hope to do even less next year but have to mentally prefer myself for downgrade in the different statuses!

Total 2002 flown miles: 224,376
UA: 103,363
AA: 56,075
Other: 64,665 (including BA, CX, SQ)

Looks like I am the low boy of the bunch:

NW 76,325
AA 4,675
US 3,000
DL 4,000
HP 5,200

This year was a slow one... Have already booked 24 flights or 16,000 miles for January...looks like it is picking back up....

Re-qualified for AA EXP on 12/24 with miles of 100,559 and points of 91,468. This will be my second time and probably my last - so will be enjoying it all the more in the coming year.

Cleared 50,000 on UA this year, a roughly 20K increase over the past two years.

AS travel dropped from about 5K to 2K, but plan to push that up to 15K+.

Approx 62K, 52K of which on NW/CO.

My buddy just barely made CO Silver, 25,003 miles on the year. That's the closest I have seen yet. Anyone hit right on the minimum required?

UA 126,000
RG 23,000
DL 4600
*A award flights 52,000
no mileage runs
A record breaking year for me.

I changed employers in March so I expect my numbers to drop significantly as I am trading my far flung clients for more local ones.
