For many years, I flew almost exclusively United Airlines and Star Alliance flights. I started diversifying more in the past few years and this year saw me flying more airlines (in one year) than any other. Delta Air Lines moved to become my primary carrier with United as number two and host of others filling in the gaps.
Here are the airlines and airports that helped me explore the world in 2023:

Anthony’s Take: Even though my travel is not what it was when I was flying 300,000+ miles a year, this was a good travel year with some new cities visited. I’m looking forward to heading back to Asia in 2024 and will be filling my dance card as I see sales, good redemptions, and figure out where I need to go on business and want to go for fun next. Happy Travels in 2024!

Interesting. I wish more bloggers would do the same. Out of curiosity, why no Southwest?
With the exception of Silver Airways, Ryanair, and JetBlue where a premium cabin is not offered, I flew in F or J for every flight or in the Big Front Seats on Spirit. I had one United and one American flight also in Economy due to irregular operations. I hate Southwest’s open seating and lack of a premium cabin.
