I think we were out 60 days last year - and flew about 140k, spread across 6 trips. I dont know what the spend was, but probably somewhere between 10k and 15k USD?
In the bigger years (2015/2016) - it was about 80 days and over 200k flown, but we have stayed more at home and/or done driving trips recently during time off.

Can't imagine doing 50 flights a year, let alone 100, 200!

My job gives me a lot of time off but being from Asia working on the US East Coast I spend most of it visiting family in Asia. I've probably done close to 20 round trips in economy between New York and Asia. I do at least 2 longhaul (Japan/Hong Kong) trips per year, and usually 2-3 domestic. This year, I finally started paying for J and I was so spoiled I don't think I can go back .

So far/booked:
JFK <-> NRT in JL J (x2)
JFK <-> LIM in LATAM J
JFK <-> SAN in DL F
HND/NRT - HKG and back in JL J
HND/CTS/ITM JAL mileage run in Japan

Planning:
JFK <-> LHR in BA F (first time on BA, and first time in F)
LGA <-> DFW in DL F (to experience CSeries)

Aiming to hit JL Sapphire/JGC this year. I should probably be using AA for US domestic flights to get JAL miles but I think Delta is better.

Depends on the length and the airports. I do 35-40, with about half out of LAX (nightmare traffic about half the time) going to other places with airports that are a pain to get in and out of (IAD, BOS), with the other half BUR-PDX. The BUR-PDX, including getting to/from airports, is easier than driving RT LA to San Diego, which I did every week for about a year. I occasionally entertain the thought of looking at jobs in the bay area, and if I did that it would probably be cheaper and easier to commute BUR-SJC four days a week than to actually move to the bay area. At peak commute hours, I can get to a meeting in Mountain View or Sunnyvale in the same or less time door-to-door as driving to a meeting near LAX.

Last year I hit a new high with 109 segments. According to FlightMemory.com:

151,703 miles / 244,145 km
88 routes
51 airports
29 airlines
21 countries
4 continents

Mostly for business (Americas and Europe) and holidays in Japan. This year I should be flying slightly less.

Currently on a mission to burn miles before they expire with weekend getaways. Since January: Havana, Oaxaca and Aruba.

My personal records don't hold a candle to many, but for a few years I averaged 140-150 segments per year, with around 150-200 nights in a hotel. On a weekly level I once did 16 flights in 6 days. It actually isn't as bad as it sounds, other than the misery flying CRJ-200's way too often.

The flights are easy, even on crappy airplanes. It's the same city that would drive me crazy. I tried to break up some of the monotony by staying at different hotels, eating at different restaurants. ABQ, PHX,LAS, LAX, SLC and ORD were just a few that I had to fly to every month for a couple of years. Now I barely visit twice a year, but in any of the hotels I frequented I'm still recognized by majority of the staff when I walk in.

But I'm definitely numb to the airplane side, not to mention boring rental cars from National or Hertz.

As opposed to falsely do?

For me, it ranges from 10 to 600 flights per year.

How dare I. IMPOSSIBRU!

I normally do 60-100 flights a year, a mix of 1/3 business, 1/3 leisure and 1/3 opportunistic leisure related to business. This year is going to be a big one though: I've just got home from a 44K mile, 53 segment trip around the South Pacific between late March and early June, which puts me on about 70 flights for the year already.

Stopped counting a long time ago, but probably 120 flights and 400k miles a year. Loses its luster after a while.
