I've flown a lot, too. I agree that there's a lot of dreariness involved in air travel. For me, making lists and keeping track of objectives such as these adds a small element of enjoyment.

It definitely matters how one pursues these little objectives. For example, one of mine has been to visit all 50 states in the US. Ten years ago I was at 40/50. I could have made a push for it and ticked off the last 10 in 2-3 years. But that's not how I roll. Ten years later I'm at 48/50. That's because I'm not in it just for box ticking. I've made my visit to each state meaningful by visiting something relevant to business or leisure interest. And I'm not made of money-- or time-- so I haven't been able to do an epic hopscotch across the last several.

In the same vein I also track which US airports I've been to (hence why I follow this thread with interest) but I don't go far out of my way to add to the list. It's more like, if I'm flying from A to B, and I have to take a connection at C, D, or E along the way, I'll pick the itinerary with "E" if I've never been there before and the cost and timing work.

Only a few goals, fly the 747 as much as possible before they're all retired. Only fly First and Business for long haul and make my first flight on the 787.

Just PIE to do now as I did SFB recently on Allegiant

all very reasonable, imo

I went through North Dakota on last month's cross-country drive and have now set foot in all 50 states; my wife still has three to go (Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas; from a perfectionist standpoint Missouri is also on the list, since she's only been to St Louis airport)

I have yet to fly into or out of Arkansas and West Virginia (in addition to ND) ... while none of those lend themselves to more-or-less conventional routings, that won't stop me from trying to figure out how to make 'em happen at some point

2017 list is out

Major change is the PIE is really growing - The Allegiant effect I suppose

working link

Thanks. BTW PIE is the only one I am missing

1000th flight coming up soon, as will 2,000,000 miles a little later, still havent taken a single work-related flight in my life.
Countries count stuck in the 150s for now.

Will get all that out of the way in my 30s.

Sticking with the list I've been working with:

53. OGG Kahului HI Airport
67. ORF Norfolk International Airport
71. GUM Agana, Guam Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport
76. TUL Tulsa International Airport
77. LIH Lihue, HI Airport
80. CHS Charleston SC International Airport/AFB
82. MHT Manchester, NH Regional Airport
85. GRR Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International Airport
86. DSM Des Moines International Airport
88. GSP Greenville-Spartanburg SC
89. CAK Akron OH
92. SFB Orlando Sanford International Airport
93. PSP Palm Springs CA International Airport
99. AZA Phoenix-Mesa Gateway
100. PNS Pensacola Regional Airport

I've knocked off:

83. ROC
84. LIT
87. SYR
94. TYS
96. PWM

I guess I'll see how many on the list I've been to, but as far as a "flying goal", it's simply to reach 3 Million Miler status with Air Canada. I'm currently around the 2.5/6 MM range.

Keeping with the original list I'm down to:

53. OGG Kahului HI Airport
67. ORF Norfolk International Airport
71. GUM Agana, Guam Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport
76. TUL Tulsa International Airport
77. LIH Lihue, HI Airport
80. CHS Charleston SC International Airport/AFB
85. GRR Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International Airport
88. GSP Greenville-Spartanburg SC
89. CAK Akron OH
92. SFB Orlando Sanford International Airport
93. PSP Palm Springs CA International Airport
99. AZA Phoenix-Mesa Gateway
100. PNS Pensacola Regional Airport

MHT and DSM crossed off

5.5 years later - will be crossing 2 million miles flown in 2 weeks (on flight #1021 ). Still never flown for work

Earlier this month I reached the 1,000-flight milestone. Mostly work related, 75% of them flown in the last 10 years. All going well, I should keep accumulating flights at a similar pace.
