Like you, missing it massively. 5th March was the last on BA, heading out to Doha, before onwards to an enjoyable weekend in Jakarta. At that point the reality of what was going on was starting to sink in, so I tried to ensure I made the most of it!
Similar to crazyanglaisy it's a chance to switch off from real life, and LSunbury I too have found myself falling behind with hobbies without the free time!

That's my feeling. We fly now only for pleasure and family visits (SE Asia). I adore it but will not do it just for the sake of it. I know about how clean the air is in a plane, and am not prone to paranoia, but it still is risk management.
Last flights were the weekend before lockdown after probably the last Swedish event with a large audience.

Mine was 4 Feb 2020 Rome to Gatwick. Should be in Spain right now but that was cancelled at the end of July after my Avios booking to Tel Aviv in July in First was also cancelled. :-( Have zero bookings ahead for the foreseeable, zero TPs too but did get the 1 year extension of status until 31 March 2022. Haven't been grounded this long since the aftermath of Sep 11 2001. Am living vicariously through others exploits here and watching ITV's "Heathrow: Britain's Busiest Airport" documentary of happier times, just last December!

Got a sneaky BSL just before lockdown and then I've been back twice to see family. In self isolation now and no forward bookings. I might look at a couple of domestics after my year end in November but it doesn't look like there'll be any long haul for a while

BA72 AUH-LHR on February 10th, an unremarkable CW overnight.
Who knew it would turn out to be the last time either of us set foot in an aircraft, train or coach in 2020 or possibly 2021 (as with the current uncertainty, we have zero international bookings for the foreseeable future).
Turns out buying the campervan was a Very Good Idea!!

It was supposed to have been in May to/from South Africa... now it's been over 2 years since my last BA flight (25AUG18).
Years of my life I haven't flown BA: 2016, 2019, 2020...
