Keep in mind, these are all vacations, there is zero flights for work here. And all flights are since 2001 (I m only in my early 30s) I think the rank is for premium members, no? I should probably pay for the premium version. I would hate for FM to close up shop and I'd lose all my data. |
Total number of flights 213
Hours 862:20 Flight Distances 616,337 km Total Airports 56 Total Airlines 25 Total Aircraft type 20 Total Routes 135 Total Countries 18 http://my.flightmemory.com/himeno Other then some family holidays when I was 10 and 12, I've only been traveling since 2005 and only when I can get leave from work. |

I have been logging my flights since I was a kid. I wrote a piece about it HERE at FlyerTalk back in 2009. I actually keep three different flight logs - my old original handwritten one, an Excel based one and FlightMemory. Back when I only had around a thousand flights total, I had them all memorized. In order. Nowadays, it's all I can do to remember what I flew last month! Anyway, here are my FlightMemory stats from 2012 and in total:
2012 Miles: 170,258 Flights: 174 Hours: 392:42 Total Routes: 92 Total Airlines: 12 TOTAL Miles: 4,307,993 Flights: 4594 Hours: 10009:05 Total Routes: 1425 Total Airlines: 156 I keep track of things like Unduplicated Route Mileage (The total mileage of all unique routes flown - you only count it once no matter how many times you've flown a particular route) but it's in my handwritten log which is back home in Alaska. Suffice to say my URM stands at a little over 900000 miles. Next month, I should pass the 1 Million miles flown on Alaska - joining United as million mile airlines for me. It's a great life up there! |

I used to work in the airlines and travel industry back in the 80s. Now I live and work in Alaska driving a bus in a National Park. Most all of my flying has been on my own dime, and back in the seventies I took full advantage of those unlimited flight fares that used to be offered. I logged hundreds of flights all over the country on those. Nothing like that around anymore, I'm afraid...
As to FlightMemory rankings, last time I checked I was in the top ten. I haven't actually been a Premium member for awhile now but there's some guy on there with wayyy more miles and flights than I've got - at least double and then some. It's like trains - I'm coming up on 250,000 miles travelled on trains but there are a couple people out there who've logged over one million. Considering it takes a train two days to cover 2000 miles vs. four to five hours for a plane, that's a lot of train riding! |

I've kept hand written (and BP stubs from college time ie.2000) as well and an Excel sheet since about 2002 - but the few flights from the 90s as a kid - are only from memory, and probably not very accurate in flight numbers, etc. I wonder what my URM would be... I m gonna try to do that on my spreadsheet now. I dont have many duplicate routes. but holy crap... over 4000 domestic flights... at least I m beating you in inter-continental flights :D |
