Not OP, but my busiest year was 2014 was 119 flights. 6 were in business, all of those were upgrades (once on miles, the others were upgraded at the gate due to overselling down the back)

Fortunately most of the long haul flights were in premium economy, about 26,000 miles were in economy.

2013 was only 112 flights, but longer than 2014, 163k miles. I was luckier that year with upgrades for work, and did a few leisure trips which were in business/first.

By 2015 I was getting tired of hotels and jet planes. Still knocked up 57 flights and 121k miles. 80% of those miles were in business or first though, which made it more bearable.

There's a certain type of person who sustains hundreds of flights a year, year after year (which IME means half the time you're staying in a hotel somewhere), most of those that I know are either under 30, or they're divorced.
