1. KLM/AF
2. 90% KLM/AF 10% EY
3. 50/50
4. 20

I decided to try KLM/AF this year to avoid the ruthless APD tax and made AMS my main long haul airport with one long haul flight from CDG…all european flights were made in economy and long haul in business class.

Merry Christmas.

If we are summarising our 2013 travel then please don’t forget this thread I started a week or so ago about how many hours you’ve spent in the air.

http://www.businesstraveller.com/discussion/topic/How-many-hours-have-you-spent-in-the-air-in-2013#postn_110631

My answers:

1. BA, Virgin, Easyjet, FlyBE, Blue Islands, Swiss, United, Southwest
2. No-one has dominated but order is BA is followed by United.
3. Roughly even spread of UK domestic, US domestic, Continental and Long-haul.
4. 27 sectors in the air, probably up to 150 on the trains.

Thanks for all the feedback. It was really just as the questions were put.
The Airlines we choose, and maybe have changed, number of flights, to see if patterns have changed.

Some of us fly regularly med/long haul others European and others a good mix.

Seems much business goes to the Gulf Carriers these days, as their expansion and availability from every European city emerges.
Many threads also indicate to what lengths we go for good deals these days playing the systems, with fares Ex Eu etc!

“Hallo chaps and chapettes !”

You must be *(&^*&^ joking 🙁

[Shearer]

Not that many flights really, however I did not fly on a low-cost airline in the last 12 months, which is a change for me.
I got very tired of the whole low cost experience.

FDOS why don’t you shut the *(&^ up

Ekond – FDOS response was due to a first time poster using the forum to advertise/plug their? apps. Should providers wish to publicise their goods they should have the decency to pay BT for ad space or at least start contributing before pushing/promoting products using a buddy approach.

Less air travel this year, enforced ‘rest’ following medical procedure.

This year has been a quiet one for me, a lot of west to east and back but not much in between. canot remember the amount of flights but:

BRU-LHR-HKG BA
LHR-HKG QR
LHR-CAN QR
CAN-HKG-LHR CX
NWI-CAN KLM CS
BHX-CAN AF
LCY-HKG-Swiss
STN-PRG EZY
HKG-TPE CX
SZ-PEK Shenzhen airlines

[NameRemoved-18/12/14]

A typical year for me, but greatly reduced…BA, LG, EI, LH, FR, EZ, EK. By far, most of my flights were on BA. 2014 looking even quieter which augurs well for stress levels!

[Pierre]

Main airlines I flew by order:
AF, LH, SK, OS, Swiss
Mid haul 60% Long Haul 40%
With about 45 return trips
I did not fly “less” than previously, but had rather shorter trips.
Ending this year with some days in Venice. The ideal place to forget about schedules..
Happy flights,
Best Wishes

Thanks, BigDog. Exactly so.

And did so using a style of address more suited to a lounge lizard, than a business traveller 🙂
