I wonder of the QF email is true. I can't believe I am in the top 5% of fliers and top 10% of earners, though did manage to renew WP (according to QF).

According to my QF summary email, 120,340km on QF is in the top 1% of fliers, and 1.9M points is in the top 1% of earners.

Number of flights: ? (? domestic (all on VA) and 9 international) (All whY)
Distance Travelled: No idea, don't keep track, I assume there's an app
New countries: Slovenia and Croatia
New airports: MXP, ZRH, LJU
New airlines: Swiss, Emirates
New aircraft: Dunno
Shortest flight: ZRH-LJU 471 km (actually I forgot AKL-NPL 228km, done it so many times it slipped my mind)
Longest flight: SIN-MXP 10 313 km
Dislike: Christchurch security nicked my airbuds.
Like: Slovenia and revisiting Switzerland after 30 odd years
Best Flight(s): not great, not terrible.

Looks like I need to get some sort of flight tracker going. For my first ten years of flying I reckon I could recite every flight I did but when I started doing a lot of domestic flights with my job that went out the window. I often wonder how many flights I've even done. Can't even put a finger on it.

With 97,000 points earned, they say I am in the top 10%.

With some of the other examples I've seen since that email came out today, I'd suggest the bulk of QFF members don't seem to earn that many points in a given year. As a data point, both ~500,000 points and ~3,000,000 points earnt for the year are apparently in the Top 1%.

And with 16 flights for 32,000 km they say I am in the top 10% of flyers too.

Seems that this % is based purely on kms travelled rather than flights taken (or any other metric).
