My dud airline of the year: JQ

AFF'ers met on my travels: More than I care to admit, including one AFFer in two different US cities.

Summary:
My biggest year of flying to date, mostly helped by a few airline "slip-ups". Lots of new cities, airlines and planes. Travelled international business class for the first time, and flew AA transcon in F which was pretty fantastic. Next year might not be quite as big but it's already shaping up pretty well.

I have stayed on the ground the whole year. I have not even dropped someone off at an airport. Pretty soon, I'll be banned from this site for not taking this whole frequent flier thing seriously enough.

*still 5 (that i know of) sectors to go this year.

 

[leadman]

Not as big as last year, but still a lot of time spent in the air;

186,444 miles, 18d 16 hrs in the air.

Highlight; flying into El Alto airport, Bolivia

Lowlight; hubbing through Karachi (yes Karachi) and being detained by an over zealous soldier who didn't understand what "hubbing" meant....

 

[rlarosa]

Not as much as last year, but not bad by my standards. Yet to add in SYD-SIN-REP-SIN-KUL-SIN-SYD, departing in 3 more sleeps!

Have been lucky - mostly VA, QF, NZ, and SQ flights and all good experiences. Most interesting destination probably Nhullunbuy/Gove in the NT.

 

[JohnM]

2014 down a bit on 2013 but the destinations as good as, if not better.





Highlights: aerial safari in E Africa, SFO-JFK in F on the new AA A321T, first rides in a B787 (LA JFK-SCL & SCL-MAD). Ease of entry to LOTFAP at DFW using the new kiosks.

Airlines: QF, KQ, AA, LA, BA, CX.

I wouldn't know a 'celebrity' if I tripped over one.

No lost luggage.

 

[Awesom Andy]

Haven't completed my flying for the year yet, although this will be the first time in 4 years that I did not take a long-haul flight of more than 10 hours in length. Probably won't go with the boring stats, but I'll make a few notable mentions:

- By the end of the year, I would have taken more MH flights than QF flights in 2014
- I spend way too much time onboard A320s (#1 by segment AND miles)
- I did not step foot onto a 747 this year.
- There's one single flight on a 763, my last flight on this type on QF and possibly the last ever on this type unless I go out of my way to find one
- EK had a 100% op-up rate (1 out of 1)
- KA had a 100% delay record for me this year (3 out of 3)
- For the more frequented airlines (5+ flights), QF was the most unreliable - more than 20% cancelled/delayed for 30mins+

Best airline of the year: n/a. I don't think anyone deserved the award this year, although the 3x SQ flights I took this year was absolutely excellent. However, the sample size was too small to win this.
Dud airline: QF - They didn't even know my flight was delayed until I told them that the inbound was still sitting at the point of origin a couple of hours after it should have taken off.
Celebrities: I try not to act like one

BIS Miles: 13,449 (down 22,281)

24,792 miles already booked for next year. Definitely looking up. Not bad for a a poor self funded traveller

Similar, booked in 10 segments at 23872 miles for 2015 already, and similarly self-funded.

13 segments for me. There's more that needs booking too

 

[JessicaTam]

Subscription post, as I have at least one more flight this year.

 

[sinophile888]

I am so jealous.

I have not been able to fly since November 2013 due to a medical situation. It is nearly killing me; not flying, that is. Sometimes I think I'll be OK and start looking at flights then it starts all over again.

Woe is me!

Other than that I am losing weight, getting very fit and accumulating lots of FF points from online shopping.

 

[ashleyn]

My 2014 was fairly light on flying, the usual 3-4 domestics and Europe on Qatar J which was exceptional but most on points courtesy of the many generous CC offers. My status suffered as a result.

[hummel]

Not a frequent flyer by any standards here but did do 5 OS trips this year... 3 of them to China for work.

Still here for a few more days then back home over the weekend... and looking like coming back in the new year. Ugh.

 

[tuapekastar]

Decrease in # flights, increase in # miles. Very quiet second half of year. All self funded.

Including one return trip still to be flown:

Flights: 31

Carriers: QF 14, VA 6, SQ 3, CX 3, MH 2, LA 2, TG 1

Cabin: J 17, Y 14

Longest Flight: BKK-MEL 4,561 miles

Shortest Flight: SIN-KUL 185 miles

No standouts, either positive or negative, though I will say the soup (Cucumber or Zucchini I think) I had in J on QF between MEL and PER was the blandest I have ever tasted.

Oh, and the MH check in guy at SIN who was able to route/tag my checked bag SIN-KUL-CMB-HKG, including change of airline, when he could only issue me BPs SIN-KUL-CMB did well I thought.

Onwards and upwards in 2015!
