I'm single and live in base, so I can actually use my flight benefits for my own pleasure rather than commuting back and forth to home! I've actually done a trip to Asia with only 5 days off, and Dublin/AMS with 4 days off. My captains think I'm weird when I tell them what I did on my days off..

This year:

Tokyo
Bangkok
Manila
Dublin
Paris
Barcelona
Amsterdam
Mexico City
Buenos Aries


All that on a FO budget as well! (Helps not having kids or a wife and living in cheap ass Detroit) It's actually pretty easy to make friends overseas and dramatically lower your costs by crashing at their place, etc.. Hostels are also an option. I usually jumpseat to avoid paying nonrev fees.

Plans for next year:

China
Bali/Jakarta
Bangkok/Phuket
Rio de Janero
London
Prague
Maybe somewhere in Africa when the DL benefits kick in
Sydney (to checkout the A380)
