Oh, goodness, I couldn't even begin to count. Take a look at my profile. Those airports? Those are cities where I've lived; I didn't count visits and vacations. Everything up until ORD happened by the time I was 15, so I've actually settled down a bit in the latter half of my life. ;)

Plus, in between the moves there were all the vacations and visits to family, etc. My trip to Thailand alone was 9 flights by your definition (we had an extra hop on the 36-hr trip back). Last year saw 4 business trips plus another 5 family trips, all of which included at least 1 stop each way, so without any brain-strain I can name 20 flights right off.

And somehow...I still am not sick of flying. I do my best to be nonchalant about it, but it thrills me like a little kid even now. ellric used to avoid driving us near the airport in Charlotte because I'd see the planes and get all wistful to travel again.

(I will admit, business trips are becoming a little bit of an ordeal, but that's still more about what happens there than it is about the flying.)
