I'm flying a LOT less. I all but stopped flying for work (not related to prices; circumstances at work have changed). I burned a lot of miles this year so I've flown quite a bit on leisure, but otherwise very few paid leisure trips (and I used to fly a lot for leisure). That's because of the prices - not just the fligths, but also hotels, etc.

My travel has dried up in the last two months, both personal and business but I'm fine with that as I was actually getting a little bored of it all!

.... yep, never thought I'd say those words!

All my company travel has been cut for the rest of the quarter, and it's not looking good for Q4 as well. I had 3 trips scheduled and booked that they made me cancel - I am pretty steamed. With further cutbacks looming, layoff/takeover rumors and a possible disastrous earnings report coming up, my resume is being dusted off.

Personal travel remains on schedule, except now I can't merge the two so I need to open my pocketbook again, and with the higher prices, it's hurting.

I'm still flying a lot. One thing I'm trying to do is reduce my international work travel. I'm sick and tired of missing weekends away from home.

Personal travel is 1 extra trip this year.

Mine has actually increased. And, in some ways improved. It seems as if there really are less leisure travelers adding to the clogged security lines.

I just came across this website http://www.flyholdingpattern.com. I guess if one is traveling less and misses it, this website should help you get over it. :D
