    As a pilot, crew or pax? Haven't totalled mine TBH. But I know it is less than last year which was around 350 P1. No airline pax time this year though.

    Bluecode, that's pilot hours. Never thought to record passenger hours, but at a guess I probably did close to 300 hours as a passenger with trips to USA, Australia, Ireland, and as the vast majority of our flights from Europe are one way, we airline up to Europe, stay for a day or two, then swap with inbound crew and operate back or vice versa.

    The longest day that I did in 2012 was Geneva Shannon New York (JFK) Paris....

    Barely 200 hours as it turns out. Shortest flight 3 minutes. Must work on getting that even shorter. :D Longest flight is about two hours but up to eight hours on a day.

    Well I'm not a pilot like yous Smurfjed and bluecode ;)

    But still I only did like 25 hours as passenger, pretty appalling. Longest flight was 7 hours to DXB

    I have flown about 60 segments this year down from 75 last year. Not involved in aviation industry so all as pax mainly business and some pleasure.

    Airports visited this year include Charlotte, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, LAX, San Fran, Boulder City, Grand Canyon, Dublin, Kerry, Aberdeen Airport, Aberdeen Heliport, Birmingham, Brest, Orly, CDG, Nice, Lyon St Exupery, Munich, Frankfurt, Zurich, Schipol, Abu Dhabi & Singapore.

    Longest was NCE-FRA-SIN and shortest was probably LAX-LAS.

    Longest was NCE-FRA-SIN and shortest was probably LAX-LAS.

    Finally found a spreadsheet which I make every year on my work laptop! Correction, only 54 segments in 2012.

    22 segments for pleasure/returning home etc costing me €3,112.

    32 segments for business costing at a guess about €9K.
