There's a huge difference between flying for work and flying for leisure/vacation.
I fly at least 2 segments/wwwk, probably averaging 80-100/yr total for each o the last 18 years. But leisure travel is probably 6-8 segments per year (2 vacations - non-stop when I can, but usually a connection).
100/yr is certainly way too many. But when I retire and travel purely for fun, 6-8/yr will be way too few. I'm hoping to get on at least 3 significant trips/yr, each involving multiple locations, so 15-20 flights/yr.
