In 2016, I traveled much less for work and am going to be well short of achieving even low tier (Premier Silver) status on United. We went on three long-haul trips including one RTW jaunt to Istanbul, Maldives, Singapore, and Tokyo.
In total, I flew 9 long haul flights (all award tickets) and flew over 63,000 miles after flying 88,000 in 2015, 65,000 in 2014, 87,000 in 2013, and 125,000 in 2012. That's a total of 428,000 miles over the past five years.
I burned through nearly 1.3M airline miles and flew on 9 carriers across the year. I don't have anything booked for 2017 so will have to get on that over the holidays!
Here are some of the highlights from 2016:
- Visited 6 countries (1 new)
- Visited 2 continents (Europe & Asia)
- Flew on 9 airlines (United, American, Delta, Etihad, Turkish, Trans-Maldivian, Singapore, ANA, and British Airways) including 3 new airlines
- Flew 24 segments
- Flew 63,012 miles
- Visited 19 airports in 7 countries and 7 US States
- Shortest flight was Male to Conrad Maldives at ~50 miles
- Longest flight was Abu Dhabi to LAX at 8,390 miles (fifth longest in the world)
- Ten flights over 3,000 miles
- The best flight of the year was definitely Etihad First Class Apartments from Abu Dhabi to JFK
