Happy New Year 2017 from Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany!

I hope all of you are enjoying the holidays season and are ready for the 2017. As the year wraps up, I look back on 2016 which may be my best year for travel yet. I’ve watched Benjamin J Travel grow extensively as I’ve invested more time and resources than ever before.

As of the last day of 2016, I’ve clocked 173,872 miles in the air, which included 101 flights to 38 unique airports. 

Some of my favorite travel highlights included visiting new countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Vatican City.

I also got to try some great new airline products, favorites include Virgin Atlantic Upper Class on the A330 and Lufthansa Business Class on the 747-8. In 2017, my travels took me on 15 different airlines in every class of service from Economy to First.

Plus, I’ve got to meet some many new people via the blogging community or social medial like Instagram and Twitter.

But my top travel memory of 2016 was taking my Dad to Ireland over the Thanksgiving holiday. Taking him on his first overseas trip and having him experience the upper deck of a British Airways 747 made such great memories. He truly enjoyed himself and he can’t wait for his next trip in 2017. Where to? Well that is still to be determined.

I wish you all the best in 2017 and hope it’s filled with wonderful adventures in travel. Thank you for being a part of Benjamin J Travel and it’s success. I look forward to an even greater 2017!

Happy New Year 2017!
