AIBU to think I haven’t flown much

I had a rather odd discussion yesterday about travel with a friend and have been left feeling a little glum. They travel everywhere and seem to think that I travel less than the average Brit, which I always thought wasn’t true.

they are a bit up themselves I must admit!

I’ve just turned 29 and having given it some thought, I have been on 91 flights in my life time (counting one trip as two flights - outward and return). Mostly in Europe but several in Africa and the USA.

I can’t seem to work out we’re they joking or being serious when they said I need to get out more.

were they right? Is it unusual not to have flown much by my age (29)?

That's around 3 flights a year. If you did them all before the age of 5 you might not consider yourself particularly well travelled but if you were old enough to remember them you really are.
Unless they were all to the same place I suppose.
I lived abroad briefly as a young adult but in the last 15 years have only flown 6 times. A year ago it was 2 so at that point I was not feeling well travelled!

That’s ridiculous

What a strange conversation and AIBU. I’m not sure how you’ve managed to remember that you’ve taken 91 flights but you sound well travelled. Does it matter? Maybe they were being sarcastic.
