How often do you fly?

[manlymatt83]

Just wondering how often people on AT fly.

 

[lxskllr]

Twice in my life. Once when I was 6, and once about 6 years ago. That doesn't count the helicopter ride at a fair about 10 years ago :^D

for work, quite a bit. Sometimes as often as every two weeks. Recently been able to do more remote work, so a lot less. I have only flown 4 times this year.

Wow.


Do you enjoy it?

Wow.

it's ok. it does get old after a while though...but it is the only way I get home to see the fam, so it's worth the hassle. Although customs can be a bitch. We have quite a few people working up in Canada right now, and they have had some long waits at customs.

People seem to rarely fly if it's not for work...

I fly at minimum once a year, but typically 2-3 times. I flew to Asia once this past year (a yearly tradition), but I make occasional trips out to Vegas or to the East Coast.

I used to fly at least once a quarter or so. This will drop down to maybe only once a year since I am no longer in my long distance relationship (we swapped who would fly during our visits every two or three months). It depends on what work does now since on occasion it is necessary for someone to travel in my department.

 

[Bignate603]

I typically fly 2 or 3 times a year. Once around the holidays, once for vacation sometime during the year, and then often another time just to see family.

 

[edro]

Not very often... it makes my arms sore.

 

[sjwaste]

At least once a quarter, right now once a month. None of it for business.

My wife and I have decided we'll have kids next year, so we're taking at least a long weekend per month away.

August - 1wk in San Diego
Sept - ? (possibly Portland, ME)
Oct - Portsmouth, NH
Nov - ? (possibly Montreal)
Dec - Italy

We love to travel, so right now is the best time to do it easily. Although others have told me the first kid is basically an accessory you bring with you on the plane, and that it's only with 2+ children that it gets really hard. We'll see, though.

 

[coldmeat]

Never.

 

[SooperDave]

OP, did you ever sign up for those flying lessons?

 

[Cogman]

it used to be quite a bit when I was younger. However, after leaving my parents home I don't get the opportunity so much.

 

[Crusty]

Usually go on 3-4 flights a year.

 

[mmntech]

Once every few years. Last time was in March when I was taking some areal photos for a project I was working on. I don't fly commercial anymore because of all that BS at the airport they have now.

 

[EvilYoda]

At least once a month...my next tour has me in the air 2-3 times a week.

 

[coxmaster]

Can you define the term "fly"? I fly commercially like once a year.

I fly an airplane atleast 2-4 times a month.

 

[eldorado99]

All the time man, all the time:

Realistically I've only flown 3 times in my life.

 

[Miramonti]

I fly 1 rt a year, reluctantly...excluding dreams that is, which would probably be every week.

 

[xanis]

If I'm lucky, once a year.

 

[zerocool84]

Once every couple years. Hate flying commercially.

 

[manlymatt83]

Flying now!

 

[Zebo]

I don't like flying/airports/people/loss of control/terrorists.

I'll drive 1000 miles one way before I'll fly.

1-2 times a year. Like crossing oceans, that's about it.
