Hey!
(Yes, I realize it’s already January 2, but I forgot to post it)😅
Last year, in 2019, I flew many times to various destinations around the globe, all for leisure! The year was amazing for me both in terms of aviation and personal life, and I hope 2020 is better!
With over 35 flights taken onboard 15 different airlines, it was one of my best years in terms of travel! I traveled on 19 different aircraft, ranging from the small CRJ-900 to a much larger A330neo, and even an A380! The airline I flew onboard the most this year was Lufthansa, with 9 flights, although United was pretty close with 8 flights taken. I flew the most in November with 12 flights, and most of my flights were on Sunday. The aircraft I flew the most was the Airbus A320 family, and I flew from San Francisco the most. I flew in Economy 24 times, Economy Plus/Premium Economy 7 times, and in Business Class 5 times.
