2016:

Consider choosing rectangular projection for the map instead of polar. Gives it a much better sense of place IMO.

Still not sure which I like best.

That's more like it .

Theres a place for both, especially with LYR in the mix. But you don't get a sense of place with polar IMO.

In any case, here's mine:

• EWR-LHR-OSL-TOS-LYR-OSL-BOO-LKN-BOO-OSL-ZRH-EWR on United, SAS, Wideroe and Swiss: 60k UA + $292.26, mix of Y, Y+, and Get A Life.
• JFK-KEF-JFK: $350.01 on Delta, Y+
• JFK-SAV-JFK: $230.60 on JetBlue, Y
• JFK-SYR-JFK: $149 on Jetblue, Y
• JFK-ABQ-JFK: 16.9k B6 + $11.20 on Jetblue, Y+

19 segments, 23,411 miles flown, 1,232 average length.

With thanks to SomethingFishy, HVACES42, Nobiggy, and others (sorry if I forgot you).
I'll format it better next time around, b'N.

I am having the hardest time getting the image into my post. I have read Fishy's instructions but it's not working.
I'm using my daughter's MacBook...maybe that's the problem!
Help???

Slightly worse than last year, but still decent. Around half business, half pleasure. Unfortunately next year will be around half of this .

That's called bad luck.

Yes, especially the last one. Just prepared my interim expense reimbursement request of $3300 (2/3 of it was preapproved, the rest we'll see).

Despite the 5-6k total that I'll get when all is said and done, not worth it.

[ad120]

Well I booked three times, flew there once, was never without tzores.
