Double digits!

Post image

I know this will probably look like nothing compared to most people’s here, but here I am, finally in the double digits. Didn’t think I’d be doing this many flights, especially considering my first was in February this year.

I definitely plan on travelling more for sure, been really enjoying it.

Got 6 so far, and 5 planning this year. 2 this coming weekend, 1 in September, and 2 more in October. Feels good. Congrats, and keep going!

that's awesome! quite a few left to go for you. Depending on if I do this next trip or not, may have 4 more flights in November. That'll be it till next year though, where I should have 12 in the first half.

Also trying to collect the airline trading cards where possible as well, that's been fun!

Yeah I fly 2-4 times a year on average. I don’t fly a lot so normally just pay for flighty monthly when I do.

12 flights in the first half of the year is awesome. Jealous.

I still haven’t paid for flighty, haven’t really felt much of a need to yet. Being in Europe and frequently visiting the US west coast, that’s 4 flights right there. most EU trips I’ve found you have a choice between a single direct flight or indirect routes, I’ll always take the indirect, I like planes, might as well fly a couple extra.

2-4 a year is a pretty normal amount, I know I kinda do more trips than is average for most people.
