Interesting and cute first attempt. And IMO, this should really be generated very early in the new year, as its incomplete if anyone’s flying in what’s left of the year. Not bad, but needs improvement.
I thought it might be the most frequent destination because you flew there more than to any other airport.
So, logically, most people's home airport would be their most frequent destination if you consider all trips as one way

I also enjoyed the email but wish it represented all of 2017 flying rather than partial December.

Nothing here yet.

I would be nice if they would also include the following metrics:

% of flights I took that were ontime
% of flights I took that were delayed and if so how much time

I don't think they want to accentuate the negative

Haha yes, Hours spent waiting on us at the airport would be great. Include delays from stated departure time and time between arrivals and bag delivery!

My top destination was...my home city.

Wouldn't that be true of everyone? It seems like a pretty meaningless stat, since half your trips are always home.

I'm not going to double check my hours (posted above), but I do believe they got my most frequent destination correct.... MFE. Upgrades says 55+, but I know that I only flew in Y 4 times all year over 124 segments (some were purchased F/J on international flights. So... 55+ should be technically correct.

It's an honor to be your airline of choice. Here's to seeing how far we can take you in 2018.

I liked this email, a nice thought. Thanks AA!

Rather than reminding some AAdvantage members of how they rank in terms of number of miles, it would have been far more useful to provide rankings of EQD's, which rate to something more useful, possible upgrade priority within AAdvantage group.

BOS most visited (I live in Boston, so technically correct?)

No percentage to either brag or whine about.

Not for me. My top destination was ORD, I live within extended commuting distance of IPT, MDT, PHL, EWR, BWI, ABE, AVP, IAD (I will not originate from DCA, LGA, or JFK), so I often fly out of where I can get a flight that works. IPT is my preferred origination airport, but down to one flight a day the plane is often sold out.
