Huh, and I thought I had my first year with a lot. Actually, I had a fair amount last year but this was the first year I was able to concentrate on an airline and get some status out of it.

Miles: 54920
Segments: 55
New Airport: SLC, PDX
Most Common Aircraft: CRJ 700
Home Airport: SAT
Most Common Other: LAX
Most Common Airline: Even split UA, CO, US (COFF)

And starting off the year finding out that UA cut my early AM SAT-LAX flight (boo) in favor of CO routes through IAH. And starting with two trips SAT-SFO and SAT-LAX-SFO-SAT.

This is the first year since 1988 that I have not flown a single mile! Would have flown a few times in December if it hadn’t been for the snow that manages to cripple the UK with slightest dusting! Will make up for it next year!

  Forgot route – I was all over the map this year, only had one route flown more than once; EWR-MCO, twice.
  
  And I guess technically I had a new airline – first time I flew on Colgan. But I track by “marketing” airline, not lift providers.
  
  Unemployment killed off my travel this year…actually, I’ve been down every year since 2006 (50,864 miles, 49 segments), although I was above 40k in ’07 and ’08.

Maybe you should have all included how many times your flight was delayed, cancelled (one -L- or two?). I guess next year you’ll need to include how many times you were felt up by a TSA agent…..LOL

Now my 2009 stats would have been more interesting, with 1 new aircraft (more if you count subtypes of 777), 2 new airlines, and 4 new airports. But that year was an outlier.

I’m going to do 36,000 miles next MONTH! (Shanghai, Hong Kong, Sydney, Ayers Rock, LAX, AUS, Buenos Aires). I don’t want to know how many miles I flew last year!!!

How about asking how many times our bags were lost enroute? Last year was a record for me – FIVE times, including both ways on a trip to Budapest. But I got them all back eventually. Looking forward to seeing if they fixed the Qantas A-380 next month on the way back to LAX… With 400 pax on that plane, I’m glad I have Global Entry and can skip the queues!
