2011 in Frequent Flyer miles

As 2011 draws to a close its always fun to look back and see how much travel I did this year.

In total I’ve done 66 flights taking around 182 hours (7.6 days) and flown around 134,000 kilometers.

Sadly only two of those flights were for leisure.

Where did I get to this year?

Australia

  • Sydney
  • Brisbane
  • Canberra
  • Hobart

New Zealand

  • Wellington
  • Auckland
  • Christchurch

Asia

  • Hong Kong as a gateway to Shenzhen
  • Bangkok
  • Singapore for my holiday

North America

  • Los Angeles
  • Las Vegas

On the upgrade front it’s been a reasonably good year with a number of “free” upgrades to business class both domestically and trans Tasman. Also got a “first class” upgrade on a flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas but I’d count that as a business class upgrade rather than a first class upgrade. I’ve also got all of the international points upgrades that I’ve requested across a mixture of Premium Economy and Business Class.

Let’s see what next year has in store.
