Best Flight:
Out of all of the flights I took this year, my best was definitely London Heathrow to Austin on the BA Landor Retro on the 747. This flight has been the most memorable of my life to date, and I will remember it forever! Read my trip report here:

Thanks to @anon24319801 for giving me some of these ideas! Here’s to a great 2020!

This may be twice the amount of flights as last year for you, it’s 24 times more than me! The only flight I was on this year was in the Ford Tri-Motor. Seems like a lot by my standards. Hope they were great!

Yeah I’ve taken a lot of flights this year to visit my grandparents because they have become very sick. That’s why I fly to BDL so often

Holy %$@&! That’s more than I’ve probably flown in my life. BDL isn’t a bad airport but PVD is sooo much better. (I’ve flown to both multiple times in the past 3 years to see my grandfather in central Connecticut)

Yeah I’m going to Vermont when I fly up there so unfortunately PVD isn’t very convenient

Hope VT is nice. I’ve got some family there but only went once when I was 2 or 3.
