How many miles have you flown in 2008?
Back by popular demand. How many miles have you flown in 2008 (including flights that you plan to take up to 31st Dec)?
Thanks to the amazing ba97.com calendar, I can see that I am down to 75738 miles this year (from 79874 the year before). And next year doesn't look terribly promising either

59,394 according to ba97.com, on 16 sectors - all BA. 14,294 booked for next year so far - all leisure, so that will increase significantly once work trips start to get scheduled.

Hard to say as I fly a lot on various carriers and alliances, but I reckon around 250,000.
Roughly comprised of 70,000 with Star Alliance, 60,000 with Skyteam, 70,000 with oneworld, then I am guessing about 50,000 on non-aligned, LCCs, and a couple of award tickets. Sectors I would really struggle to accurately estimate.
I would love to have kept a record to see it all precisely, just like I'd love to give something back by reviewing every hotel I stay at on Tripadvisor.... but in reality I don't really have the time and would probably give up logging my flights after about a month.

The least in years. Only 4 BA sectors compared to about 14 in previous years.
So one LHR-BOS-LHR, one LHR-MUC-LHR and one LGW-MBA-LGW (on First Choice -which was actually my best flight1) and a couple of LHr-DUBs for work.
I already have as many booked next year and will easilly beat this mileage by the end of May.

98,054 this year - would have hit 100k had I not decided to stay in IST for the weekend to avoid arriving into T5 on its first Friday of operations, and departing on its first Monday. Ironically, as I recall the IST flights only had about 40 mins delay maximum.
44 out of 50 sectors on BA.

Another personal best year per ba97.com but I suspect this will be the limit in light of the current economic environment.
83 flights = 140,384 miles on 20 different airlines
Suprisingly only 46% of miles (40% of segments were BA)
13% in F, 78% in J, 9% in Y (european sectors for work!)
New Airlines for me this year were LAN ^ and Aerolineas Argentinas, CSA, JAL, Air Europa and Olympic. Would definitely repeat the LAN experience

about 90,000 miles and 62 segments - more sectors but less miles than last year - and this increase in short-haul goes hand in hand with an increase in Y
same trend next year: more segments, more short-haul therefore more Y, less miles - I especially dislike the increase in short-haul air travel

Around 67K which is down from 78K in '07 -
Almost all were on OW most on BA
New destinations for 08 = LYS, OTP and TPE. (all ^)
New carriers = CA ^
New Equipment = A330 / F70
