This trip is coming up. I'll see the inside of airplanes and airports more than I'll see sunshine on this trip.

That is one trip?

OK, 10 flights in 7 days, and it all went pretty smoothly. The first and last runs were on NW. I had IND-DTW cancel due to maintenance, so go rescheduled on a flight 2.5 hours later. And that then put me on a prop plane to ROA. In DTW, I didn't have a seat, and the DTW-ROA was oversold. I had to get stern with them - told them I already had a flight cancelled that day; finally got an agent to tell me they wouldn't deny me boarding twice in one day. And she kept her word - I felt bad for the two people they kicked off the plane to make room for my son and I, but at least we were on our way. All the other flights were great. Status on UA, so I had E+ seats on ORD-MSY, MSY-ORD, and ORD-ORF. And had row 3, in fact - the best of the E+ seats on the E70's. No luggage issues, no flight issues to speak of at all, really.

Ten flights in seven days would be a blast. I'd love it. I've done five in one day before. That is a marathon. That I don't really care to do again. And why did I do it? Because I was bored and had nothing else to do.

I had a little downtime on this trip. I probably could have squeezed in MCI between MSY and ORF. With connections, that would have made it 14 flights in 7 days.
