All my travelling is for leisure, so I've certainly not done as much as a lot of you. I joined BAEC in June, and before that I did a bit with other alliances (flights with Austrian, United, Delta). 2014 was my best year for flying, with by far the most in my life. I'm already looking forward to a fun 2015, and lots of firsts to come (booked so far):
first BA First
first Babybus
first AA business
first A380 flight
supposedly 'the shortest international flight between 2 capitals'
first Tarom flight
first Germanwings flight
plus lots of new lounges to discover.
oh and who knows...if BA springs another sale upon us, maybe a lot more!

Quiet year so far, 152241 miles (73k on BA), down from 254k last year. 69 sectors only.
2 New countries visited this year, Mali and Iran. 3 if you include Jersey for the Do.
First time paid to go on EasyJet, (only other time BA paid due to industrial disputes). Fortunately BA have decided to return to Bilbao so no need to repeat next year.

Not sure I'm going to try and backload everything I already have on ba97.com, though ... it took me long enough to do that, going back to 1963!

48 BA sectors so far this year (LAX-LHR that arrived on 1st January excluded), two more in Europe next week, and three more before year end (NA return and EZE outbound) - so 53 in the calendar year (54 if you want to count LHR-SYD on the one flight number as 2 sectors)
Not all revenue by any means!
34 of those will have been either LON-DUB or vice versa
8 Glasgow
4 Helsinki
2 Athens
1 (or 2) to SYD
1 Paris
1 LAX
1 JFK
1 EZE
That misses some other OW flights:
CX - PER-HKG-LHR (2)
QF - DRW-KNX-PER-EXM-PER (4)
And some non OW
KLM - LHR-AMS-NRT and back (4)
JQ - SYD-DRW (1)
FlyBe - DUB-CFN-DUB (2)
Will also have pleasure of US on LGA-BOS-PHX-LGB (3), Jetblue (LGB-SFO) and UA (SFO-LAX) for a grand total of 72
54 BA sectors
9 OW
4 SkyTeam
1 *A
4 non-aligned
Will do the maths, but probably in the region of 80-90,000 miles...
So close, 77,210 miles for flights that start / started in 2014. Now if I could include my LAX-LHR flight that took place in 2014 based on UST I'd be at 82,650! (And 73 sectors with 88% loyalty to OneWorld)

^No although she does control the finances because she doesn't trust my arithmetic. Just a mixture of tight currency controls and 35% tax on foreign transactions. So out of principle we refuse to give that bloody woman in charge any more money than we have to.
I don't miss the flying part but do miss spending some time in the UK visiting family. Plus I have to go into hospital on the 15th for an operation to get my dodgy gallbladder out.

A very quiet year, 5 trips for work, 6 private trips (with BA)
29 sectors, 22 on BA, 2 in F, 10 in CE, 10 in ET.
New airports: UME (Sweden), KRP (Denmark)
9 Eggs Benedict / Full English / Prelude sessions in LHR
2 Bacon Buttie / Tat sessions in LGW
Mostly using Avios, still managed some TP's but dropping to Silver in 4 days
Next year looks like a lot more work travel and long haul, less private travel and certainly no CE due to new cabins.
Finally managed to try the mid haul 321 CW which was nice coming back form LED. ^
Stupidly did 2 work trips this year with 3 flights in one day...will be trying to avoid that next year!

3 sectors on UA: 2 TATL in economy, 1 domestic first.
2 sectors on 4U for work.
So approx. 13k non-BA.
15 BA sectors, 2 TATL and 13 European.
1 WT, 1 WTP, 3 CE and 10 ET for approx. 16k miles.
So just about 30k miles all in, which I will probably pass by July next year.
