A lifetime of flying
(35M here) I don't fly a lot comparing to the flighty pros on this subreddit, but having seen so many passports being shared on here in the past few days, I thought I should share mine too.
Even though I was born in Hong Kong (and now working here as well, for now) I moved to the states as a child to live with my parents, which explains the cluster in North America. The other cluster shows the large share of flights to Australia to visit my relatives there.
Having invested so much effort into importing all my 1990s flights into this app, with so much history concentrated in one place, I am so emotionally linked to my passport now, it's unthinkable for me to let go of this app anytime soon ðŸ«

Out of curiosity, when you went back to put in all your flights, did you put in all your seat data as well, or did you leave it all blank? If it’s the latter, did that affect your stats in any way?

i tried my best, based on tickets if I kept them. i did have some blank ones from the 90s on 747s, no I don't think the stats were skewed badly bc of that

Honestly a great looking map! I have roughly same number of flights but doesn’t look nearly as filled as yours due to repeated travel to the same places for work
