In an attempt to inject some data into the discussion, I wrote a bit
of code that figures out how much time, given your home city, you
would have spent in the air if you'd attended all IETF meetings since
IETF74 (i.e., from 2009 onwards).
The first column is the "home" airport.
The second column is the great circle time between the home airport
and the nearest large airport to the IETF meeting, hhh:mm. This
doesn't count things like transit time, taxiing, takeoff and landing
overhead, indirect routing, etc. As such, this is an ideal number;
the only way to achieve anything close to it is to have a private jet
(with exceptional range).
Could you please elaborate a bit more on the meaning of the second column?
Thanks!
