Looking back on 2016, looking forward to 2017

2016 was a tempestuous year for global politics but an amazing year of travel for me!
As well as putting together this website I also travelled more than ever 😀

This is the first time that I’ve ever managed to set foot in 6 continents in a single year.

My flight summary

I don’t always fly in F, despite what people might think biggrin - Looking back on 2016, looking forward to 2017
However, I am glad to see that my average number of miles flown decreases along with the class of service.

My longest flight QR F : SYD-DOH
My shortest flight Trans Maldivian (Y) : MLE-Conrad Rangali

Best flight EY F : Both sectors in apartments were absolutely outstanding, a remarkable aviation experience.

Worst flight BA Y : a lot of delays – more flights delayed than on time for me this year with BA short haul.
