Today is my 100th flight of 2017. A weird, tiring milestone that comes with my job. Felt like sharing it.
FP edit: Please donate to at least one charity this holiday season. Even if it's Wikipedia or something small and local. Making sure your fellow man isn't struggling is the most Noble cause you can take

I'm 41 years old: I've been on two flights my entire life.

Have you found the year has flown by? ;-)

Hearing this as a pilot, LOL

As someone who is really afraid of flying - seeing things like this brings me peace. Flying to Utah this month and already feeling nervous
Djchoragos
I changed jobs and haven't been in an airport for almost six months. It's everything I hoped it could be.
GoodOlCornholeJackson
About 180 here. Clinical research associate. Crazy tiring, but airlines points/status helps a bit

Never even been on a plane. Nevermind that I have never even been to an airport.

@OP Boy you thought 2017 was a long year, huh? ._.
YouCanCallMeCal
I know right? I'm real dumb
Xianimus
I'm in the same boat as you comrade. May all your flights be under 500 miles and receive commentary first class upgrades.

I know this feel. 64 this year.
Tenebrific
This inspired me to count so I scrolled through my reservations. Added up to 104 flights this year (give or take), with two to go! (1/2)
Tenebrific
Most of my flights are between Europe and Asia or America, so adds up to quite a few hours on a plane! (2/2)

YouCanCallMeCal

stmohl
Feel you, buddy. Counting since 11/2015, this year's end ends a 50 flights streak.Only few were for leisure. Enjoyed them less b/c of work.
stmohl
Seen lots of the world.Friends ask me why would I want this to stop?Family, friends, girlfriend.Made a lot of money too but it aint worth it
optimusgoose
I'd rather go deep sea diving in a pitch black abyss than have to fly that often
DeepFriedTamales
84 flights this year for me. I won’t hit 100. I’m ok with that. I hit 140 flights one year. That was brutal.

2 weeks in a row of 5+ hours of delays on a Friday. I feels ya
Imightbethedroidyourelookingfor
It's always the Friday flights home that get delayed. I now always make sure my layover ATL is 2 hours to avoid getting stuck.

My husband sat on the tarmac at JFK, missed his connection, stuck in NYC, has been on business for a week and now stuck another day. :(
JohnnySandwich
Time to spare? Go by air!
jawscmouse
Lol, right! I finally got him, just now! Phew, 36 hours later...:/
JohnnySandwich
Beats the drive...usually.
jawscmouse
I'm sorry, this post wasn't about that - congratulations op! That's a big milestone!
YouCanCallMeCal
I know the pain. Had 4 flights this week. 3 were delayed. Finally driving back to my apt now
jawscmouse
Oof. Glad you're getting home. My husband is almost halfway across the country today, halfway through 10 hours! At least I get to get him!
Jester269
Thanks for supporting my family. Wife works for AA.
YouCanCallMeCal

ImgurIsPrettyNeat

YouCanCallMeCal

ImgurIsPrettyNeat
Oh okay good
DoofusMcGillicuttyEsq
Tell me you get the Frequent Flyer Miles OP. Been there, done that (100 flights in a year). Not fun.

cheekypocketwank
I'll be your companion for free flights! I'm not fussy where we go. Anywhere new to explore. Deal????? :)

I'm at about 396, but I'm a flight attendant.
JohnnySandwich
I've got almost double. Regionals make a lot of short hops.
TheGriffin
Ground handler here, I tip my hat to you. That's a job I couldn't do.
YouCanCallMeCal
Hahaha that's slightly more than me. I sleep on every flight
Avi8tor27
Around 295 or so for me, but they let me sit up front....
jawscmouse
Hahaha! Username relevant!
HauxSkrilla
Just had a flight yesterday and the day before. Haven't flown for years. Every bit of turbulence had me clenching...
tortuga3005
Its not turbulence they call it we hit a small pocket of air.
Dryne
I'm at 0 flights, but 104 planes spray painted this year. 98x 737s, 2x 757s, and 6 C130-Hs
BrendanCreek
You might want to recount that ;)
Dryne
Oh. C'mon man, it's been a looooong year.
BrendanCreek

coldlings
Flight attendant is my nightmare job lol, I don't know how you do it.
prismbear
I have at least 37 panic attacks on a 1 hour flight. Not the job for me either
EvenStevensEvenSemen
Gracefully. They are class acts and have a lot of respect from me
coldlings
Agreed. Passengers can be assholes
