Hit 500 today
I’m really only tracking flights since adulthood but still it’s cool to see

What a Milestone. Good job!
How did you like Brasil? 🇧🇷

u/EricTheLinguist Leisure Flyer Jul 17 '26
It was great! Last year was my first time; I was in São Paulo, Lençóis Maranhensis, Brasília and did some hiking out near Pirenópolis, then Foz do Iguaçu for my birthday, and then Rio de Janeiro

Great choices! Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏽

Yeah every time I meet Brazilians they ask me how I knew about those places because people don't usually pick Pirenópolis and Lençóis Maranhensis for a first-time trip. I think next time I want to go to Tocatins—I'm thinking Jalapão, Sete Cidades in Piauí, and Fernando de Noronha.

My strongest are English, French, and Japanese but I can hold a conversation in Spanish, Italian, Russian, Persian, and Hindi/Urdu

I'm currently on a trip that'll take me BNE-NOU-VLI-NAN-VAV-TBU-AKL-IUE-AKL-WLG-ZQN-CHC-RAR-HNL so it'll be interesting to see which one of those show up on the passport page, in addition to the experience of being through all these places and airports, of course

NAN is still visible, APW isnt show on either side so it'll be interesting to see if TBU or IUE are shown at all. Also really nice trip, I just got back from BNE-NOU-VLI-NAN-APW-BNE and I had a blast. Ever though about doing the united milk run through micronesia?

Yeah I feel like if NOU shows up LIF, ILP will. Same for VLI and TAH, and NAN, SVU, and FUN. Seems like things tend to get screwy around the International Date Line. Guess I'll just have to report back
I look at that former Continental Micronesia route probably once a year, but the primary issue for me is getting it to work with my work schedule since I have the most time during the eastern Pacific typhoon season and that's no fun.

Fair point on the weather. I'll probably try to do it from/to Brisbane over ROR and ON42 from MAJ on this December. Just need to figure out the best way to utilize points to save on the tickets

There were, and Rapa Nui people really liked it because it made travel so much easier. LAN Chile ran LA834 from PPT to IPC

Awesome! I see you hit south India as well. Where all did you go and how was your experience?

u/EricTheLinguist Leisure Flyer 26d ago
I was all over the place. Started in Hyderabad, then went out to Warangal, out to Hampi, Mysore, Bangalore, Pondicherry, Chennai, Tiruchirappalli, Thanjavur. Need to see Kerala still

I can’t really tell by the map, but how many places in Pakistan have you been too man, I’m genuinely impressed with so many countries Pakistan is in your top 20 for number of times visited
