I traveled to Europe in Jan 2020 and Australia in Feb 2020. I travel International a lot. But haven't since March 2020.
All travel since March 2020 has been domestic and I only resumed in April 2021(no flights for 13 months) - then lots of transcons. And some on paid F. Only way to meet the spend. Flew 67 segments. I attend lots of social events.
This is FT - some of us a few years back did 2 day trips to Hong Kong when fares were cheap and used SWUs. Even 3x in one year, almost enough to get the HKG speedy entry.
Have traveled to Australia 35 times, Europe - 80, Asia - 20, South America - 10. All travel is personal - no business travel.
My numbers may be low.
I have 7 SWUs earned in 2021 and haven't been able to use them. I expect to earn more next month with reaching the Plat Pro level in April. Planning to resume international this summer however.
