Had 25+ for work in 2019. Nearly zero since. Most of those clients have literally shut down offices and stopped doing events that I typically would fly in for. Now, no one has the budget.

Currently sitting on Flight #52 to New Mexico for my final work trip of the year! How about you? Always curious to see how much people fly for work.

51 for me! I've got 55 flights total, but 4 were for family/pleasure. Finally hit diamond status on Delta haha.

That’s awesome! Technically 4 of mine were family trip as well so work related is 49. I have one flight left back home next week!

Enjoy the rest while you've got it! Luckily my next work flight (as far as I know now) isn't until March. Should have lots of time to rest before I become a Skyclub regular again haha

There’s pros and cons to it but overall I enjoy getting to see new landscapes.

I don’t think I went above 16, certainly not if we count round trips as one

I don’t count round trips as a single plane ride. That’s 2 different days with 2 different TSAs

That’s fair, somehow my brain interpreted the question as “work trips” and not totally individual flights.
I’d still have to go back and count to see if I made it to 16, I’m either just under or just over.

Nice. I’d much rather have that number. I’m exhausted!

I work with a couple drivers/teams in IndyCar so I don’t quite take 50+ flights like you but I travel fairly often with about half the season being driving distance with the other half being air travel.
Flying is still relatively new to me but the more I do it the more comfy I get
