A friend asks: How many miles will you fly this year?
He wanted to know if I flew more than 100,000 miles, but I told him it was probably less than 10,000 miles for the year. After he left, I started thinking more and though it was around 25,000 miles flown. I kept thinking of trips I took earlier this year and trips that were coming up and wanted to get an exact number.
I wrote down all my flight segments and went on Great Circle Mapper to find the actual distances. I’ve gone on quite a few trips this year and have plenty more flying through the rest of this year. All my travel is personal, paid with miles or cash.
I added up all the numbers and this is what I got… 44,624 flown miles, wow! That might be my best year ever!
| Air France | 670 |
| WestJet | 1,081 |
| LAN | 1,455 |
| United | 4,841 |
| Southwest | 5,222 |
| Alaska | 6,337 |
| American | 12,503 |
| US Airways | 12,515 |
| TOTAL: | 44,624 |
As you can tell, I’m literally “all over the map” (pun intended) with my airlines and don’t fly any airline exclusively. How many miles will you have flown by the end of the year? Let me know in the comments below.
