How many miles have you flown in 2019?
Apologies if someone else already started this thread this year, but I haven't seen it.
As we are wrapping up for the year, it is time to see how did BA flyers fare in terms of actual miles flown. I'll start:
Total miles flown: 134k of which 3k in Y, 91k in J and 40k in F (up from 115k miles in 2018)
87 segments flown (75 in 2018)
71k miles flown on BA this year on 29 segments
New carriers for me this year: Scoot and Solenta Aviation
New airports:KIV, INH, KBP, KUL, LYS, JMK, NTE, TBS and TLS

BA, QR, LS. ... PHX, IAD, UVF, LBA, DOH, CPT, MLA [x2]
A rather fun year of chasing sun/warmth by 2 OAPs, about 10 weeks away from home, and renewing BAEC Gold in the process..
All in CE/CW, except for the LS trip to LBA!
And over 25,000 miles in MMB fir 2020 already.

Mine isn't as amazing. Only 19,300 miles total for this year ( I actually did more last year, all in Y) from 11 flights. Should have actually been 14 as I missed a connecting flight from ANU earlier in the year as a result of a BA delay and I was also booked on the propose 747 domestic flights to MAN in August. Out of that 11, 8 are on BA (2 in WTP and the rest in CE and CW). But overall I'm quite happy with my flying this year. I achieved Bronze status for the first time since I joined BAEC, managed to try the Club Suite back in August on the A350 from Madrid and scored an upgrade from WTP to CW on the upper deck of the 747 back in November to JFK.

Roughly 123k this year, thankfully down on last year, hoping for a further reduction this coming year.
Approx half of that in J, half in Y. Rougly 60% on BA metal, 15% on Qatar, 10% on AA, 5% on Finnair and the rest on none OW carriers.
Highlights - Toronto in the new Club Suites and trying Qatar Q Suite. Lowlights - BA economy SH and the inconsistency of the BA experience.
Happy New Year all.

A couple more Asian routes and you'd have had a reasonable effort at a palm tree

Interesting App. I might start using that (in addition to ba97 and FR24). Output map is a bit messy, a consequence of using FR24 tracks, but I’ll give it a go. I don’t have too many PNRs to input!

A busy year for me, including BA Gold for the first time, however no match for many on here (and still 1 more flight to go in 2019!) but here goes mine so far:
A total of 229 hours on planes (9.6 days or 3% of my entire year!)
108 sectors -- 70,932 miles (Distance wise: 5.4% F, 51.7% J, 42.9% Y)
43 Sectors and 32,294 miles on BA
12 Sectors IB
4 Sectors QR
1 Sector LA
The rest on 16 different airlines.
New Airports: AEY AMS ARN BRU CDG CPH FRA JFK KEF LTN MAD MAN MMX OLB OSL PRG RKV TLS
New Airlines: AF, AZ, FI, I2, IB, KL, LA, LX, NY, SK, W6, VY
Ventured to LTN and MAN for the first time each too, don't recommend either...
