Welcome to Flyer Talk elbow :)

From the 2007 travel year in review thread, I had 487,716 flown miles from 404 flights. 2006 I had 428,902 flown miles from 267 flights.

This year should be a lot less although I've already flown close to 200k miles and 140 flights.

Last year, I did about 110,000 miles on star alliance (mostly United), 55,000 miles on skyteam (mostly on Korean Air) and a couple of award flights to SE Asia on SQ.
So, I flew around 200,000 miles.

My business/leasure ratio was about 60/40.

Seriously.. I can't imagine how you manage it. When I used to fly
over 300k/year (pre-FT days) my boss used to say
"cpx lives on an aircraft. Only comes down once in a while" :)
that was taking a flight at lease once a week.

My travel significantly reduced after joining FT though. Thanks to TSA!

Fortunately only a small % of my flights involve TSA. Unfortunately that is still a lot of flights.

Kiwi how do you book all that travel? Do you have like 12 secretaries? I have enough trouble keeping up with a few itineraries. Do you keep it all in Outlook or Google Calendars?

Blown away by how much people travel,

394,315 miles last year

Much quieter so far this year - only around 100k by the end of May.

Too much, but not nearly enough. By the end of this weekend, I will have re-qualified for 1K with about 110K EQM on United (although that's with the double EQM bonus), about 7K on Northwest, and another few K on airlines not part of Star Alliance or SkyTeam.

I am hoping to hit 75K on NW, 150K on United, plus 25K on others, although that will entail only about 200K BIS miles. Plus an award from the U.S. to Asia, for about 25K more.

Hey all...Thought i would take this opportunity to make my first post.

I fly in the region of 25-30 sectors per year, all leisure trips, and all just for the love of the "game".

This just about gets me 25k miles for SAS EUROBONUS (most trips are discounted Y so only 25-50% miles) so can just hang onto *S.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, *ALLIANCE!:)^

Used to fly 4 times a year for business (2x Europe and 2x Canada) and about once a year leisure. Since the kids have come, I'm happy doing a once a year or even once in two years vacation trip (just the two of us - no kids!). This year however I did manage to get away twice (international flights to Europe and Middle East). We take each day as it comes!

....oh yea, my travel is 99% business.

Last weekend I logged around 18,000 miles in 70hrs r/t, 10 days before that t was around 9,000 miles in 3 days, two weeks before that I shot jobs (photographer, not an assassin) in four countries, on three continents in 3.5 days......this summer I'm planning short haul ,some medium haul , only to try and hang out with my kids at the beach (since I live a block from the beach and have never spent a summer on the beach with my kids!)

Last year I flew 220,000 miles. But this year I cut way back.....I will only be flying about 100,000 this year. ALL domestic!

It varies every year. A few years back I did 250K/yr for 3 years. Last year I only did about 50K. I have a BIS total of about 2.1M over the last 16 years.
