Few times Florida, Aruba and few times south Europe, 2 times LHR and 1 time CPH gives me something like 100 hours ( returnflights included ).

16 years to FLA vv=aprox 300 hrs
7 years LIM vv(sometimes 2/year)=aprox 300 hrs
Yearly since 1990 2 flights EU vv= 96 hrs
PEK flight vv= 20 hrs

So let's say roughly 710 hours in total.

Well I have over 300 hours as a pilot. As for being a passenger I haven't a clue. I've been in airplanes ever since I was a wee kid and now I'm 21. In that time I've traveled all over the world. Not to mention the fact that I worked for AA this past summer and I jumpseated all over the U.S. I'm going to have to say I have......a lot of hours. :?

Why shouldn't it count?
But I'm afraid you're fiddling up your ICAO codes,
did you perhaps mean Hoevenen EBHN?

How does one count flight time ?
Many possibilities (for passengers):
-engines on/engines off
-chocks off/chocks on
-stepping in/stepping off the aircraft
-beginning of take-off run/end of landing run
As for me, I use the last one, and I have clocked until now 836 hours (with 634 take-off).
Can anybody tell me how airlines pilots do count their flight hours ?
