Only 21 sectors this year: 51727 miles, including 9 long haul sectors in J: 44480 miles.
Five of those long haul J sectors were redemptions. This has the unpleasant side-effect of dropping from QFF SG to PS and unless I get an irresistible urge to spend more money than I need to in the next few months, which is unlikely, the descent will continue and I will land at NB. I have only been NB in the year that I joined QFF, 10 years ago!

Longyearbyen Airport (LYR) on Svalbard (Spitsbergen), is the world’s northernmost commercial airport. Svalbard is part of Norway, but it is outside the Schengen Area. This leads to the strange situation that there is passport control for domestic flights between LYR and the Norwegian mainland.
