Your 2017 flying year in review

[Major]

Do we have a winner yet for the most sectors ?

So 3K does count as JQ flights for the No. of sector count, I assume?

If you buy the bundle it does

OT, I know, but any JQ flight counts toward the QF sector requirement doesn't it? But 3K only counts on a bundle?

No, all JQ requires the bundle. Except JQ NZ IIRC

No, for a "Jetstar" flight to count towards a '~', the travel for the flight MUST earn points/SC's.

This means for most "Jetstar" flights (NZ domestic exempt) a Plus or Max package must be purchased at the time of booking.

Correct 80 in total including 3K

Or a QF codeshare.

It becomes mechanical. Robotic. I actually want to fly more. I love the flying experience even if at times I feel drained. I love airports. I love seeing the movement of people coming and going. I love people watching.

And I'm happy doing it in economy as it means I can travel more often on a tight budget.

I sort of understand you, I’m certainly robotic flying - sometimes I can’t even remember my flights they are so routine
I like people watching too but my amount of flying takes me away from the things I personally value more like family, health, fitness, friends and events. My travel is 95% work... but each to their own.

Return! 162 sectors?

Correct and that is commercial. Add in about 5 more sectors private.... but I’m pretty sure the ‘rules’ in this thread would be RPT only

I had 181 sectors for 2017 and i can really feel the "wear & tear" now. Got the flu early December and i think its mixed with sheer fatigue both physically and mentally and I'm still struggling to recharge the batteries. There is no way i could do 2018 like it, or it will be my last post!

I get you. I’m absolutely religious about my health and fitness flying as much as I do - which is less than you! I have strict rules about what times I will and won’t fly, hotel facilities and proximity to airports / events and transfer times - all to maximise rest time and minimise impact to my body! Thankfully I’ve worked my way to a position in my role I can dictate these things to my travel arranger.
