Final Tally
Miles flown: Over 33,000
Miles on the train: About 600
Hours in the air: 96.5
Hours on the train: a little less than 5
Airfare: $4196.31
Train: $227
Hotel: $413.26
Total travel: $4836.57
My "airtime" alone amounted to an impressive four days (more than 96 hours). The total travel cost, once I include other expenses, exceeds $5000.
Veit, founder of the Hospitality Club, has compiled a list of Spot Challengers here. The second person to finish the Challenge, Jeff Chu, wrote about his experience for the Wall Street Journal. He spent $2790 (+30,000 frequent-flyer miles). Christina Ruiz of The Art Newspaper spent $3250.75. Veit's flights cost 1059.37 euros.
I'm feeling a little extravagant, but I'm definitely not Pictor Vinchuk, whose trip would have cost $108,572.
