Will be reaching 1.5 million miles on 100 airlines (not incl regionals) this summer.
At current patterns, will reach 2mm and 1000 flights well before age 40. Still zero flights for any work-related purposes. In my case, business flights are about 80% of the grand total, but they've taken me to all continents, even in the same calendar year, so I cannot complain! :) |
With my recent AEP-USH flight, I've now flown to the southernmost airport I guess I'll ever reach (unless I ever fly to the Antartica; very unlikely).
And never a flying goal of mine, and a bit of a trivia nonsense, but I've just realised that, with the addition of Ushuaia, I've now flown to airports starting with every letter of the alphabet. |

*sets new goal* |
When you've flown as much as I have, there aren't a lot of goals left to attain. For now, I suppose I'll focus on flying my 200th airline. Additionally, I'd like to log a flight aboard a 737-600.
Oh yeah - flying between Perth and Johannesburg would very nicely complete the southern symmetry of my flight memory map. |

Crap. Missing Q and X :D *sets new goal*

With the addition of a seaplane port (QNY) last week, I've now "collected 'em all."
Numbers are next... |

It will not be easy but it is doable. I think Lan Chile have a Auckland-Santiago - Buenos Aires which helps considerably and Qantas can get you from NZ-Australia -South Africa. And not sure about South Africa back to South America. |

Amazing - I thought you were trying to fly on every 737 is the AS fleet - or have you already managed that?

May I ask what you were doing there - start of an Antarctic cruise?

From my list, Quito and Qingdao are quite easy to reach, if you're in the area. And Xiamen and Xi'an are quite popular Chinese airports too.

Quito is UIO and Qingao is TAO so might not be of much help.
If we're talking about IATA codes, then I'm missing Q, but QRO (Querétaro) should be added soon. And on the other hand, if we talk about cities not codes, Y becomes more difficult to achieve -ie, Canadian airports out of the way-. I've only been to the rather obscure YNT (Yantai, China). |
