I had to fly out by a specific date and the only business class award flight out of the region was from Almaty. So I thought why not make a short visit to the country. 😜

Decently busy year, work travel had started picking up again last year but picked up a bit more in 2022.

Total Flights: 42
Total Miles: 86,520
New Countries (8): Kosovo, Netherlands, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Armenia, Austria, Georgia

Shortest Flight: Hungaroring - Riverside Heliport (post F1 race, super cool landing on the Danube in the middle of Budapest!)

Highlight: Aviation-wise, spent a couple of days in Nimes at an aerial firefighting conference, some neat stuff to see and people to talk with.

Lowlight: Getting caught up in the winter weather chaos (or more appropriately, LH chaos) in MUC a couple of weeks ago, which took 3 extra days to get home from.

All in all, a good year of travel, with a busy 2023 on the horizon!

Going to school on the other side of the country with family spread across the United States meant that 2022 was my busiest travel year of my life. Ended up earning Platinum Pro status with American Airlines in late November with a combination of Rocketmiles, shopping portal, CC spend, and flights. Also enjoyed a 69.5% upgrade % on flights I actually took (around 76% when including flights I did not take). Looking forward to more travel in 2023.
