Some of us mainly drive for our business travel so even though we stay a lot of nights we accumulate very few air miles. During my peak business travel periods I was doing 3 to 4 nights a week in a hotel and maybe a half dozen of the trips at most (probably less) involved air travel. Similarly my leisure travel which adds 10 to 20 nights a year is almost all driving trips as well. YMMV.....
