but doesn't time and the wear and tear on your body for having to travel intensively in short period of time account for something?

Never mind just being away from family / home. Personally I couldn't think of any reward / status etc that could tempt me to be away from my kids for a single week-end let alone long enough to rack up tens of thousand of miles.
I fly because I have to and would stop if I could (apart from the occasional vacation). Obviously on this board I realise that I'm in a small majority. I must say I enjoy the stories though and as a source for information for the strictly business traveller, the knowledge that you guys have is amazing.
