My flying was all over the place this year.

Most frequent flight was UA 152, SFO-ORD (the 6pm-ish departure). SFO-ORD was also my most frequent route, did it 6x.

Runners up were:

EUG-SFO - 4x
ORD-LAX - 4x
ORD-SAN - 4x

About 120k BIS miles this year. I'm beat!

I had to go through my flight activity to find this info as I was curious about it. Interestingly enough, going through that data it turns out my last flight was on 10/11 ... and it was also my last op-up, sort of. I was "downgraded" from domestic F to int'l C on a 767 new config

Here are my top repeaters

FL # Frequency
917 4
916 3
62 2
7291 2
262 2

Mind you, these are all domestic flights. There should be a lot more IAD-ROA flights listed on there, but UX always changes the flight numbers. In fact, if there was a constant flight number IAD-ROA, it would top my list with 6 segments.

my wife has been doing LGA-CMH weekly since June. And since she would not stick to a single airline, she had only silver status on delta, and I had nominated her to Premier Associate on United. Well in October I finally convinced her that connecting on United rather than a direct flight would be in her best interest, (she has always wanted high status, just would never dedicate.) So with DEQS she just made 1k this morning, and is a happy little bee. And to boot while it takes theoretically twice as long to travel due to the connection, she actually says she finds it more relaxing since she has a chance to acclimate to the change while waiting in IAD.

Supprisingly the total travel time really isn't much longer, for some reason the direct flights were delayed 1-2 hours about 70% of the time, while with her connection she has only been delayed a max of 30 minutes maybe twice in the last 13 weeks, and been early about 40% of the time. So in all I would say the connection while adding extra flying miles and extra time sitting in IAD, has on average only added maybe an hour to her total travel time, but she has also been relieved of the aggravation caused by delayed flights (she is a nervous nelly type of person.)

Best part is she really doesn't get any upgrade possibilities since she is on the small planes, so guess who gets to use her CR-1's next year!! (I take the PS flights about 10-12x a year)

I ended up on UA 925 (the last IAD-LAX) flight 5 times this year; it's a great leg for one day transcon mileage runs and connections out of the East Coast.

Most common route was LAX-SFO-LAX.
