Well, if I see someone saying that they took n number of flights with x carrier - it tells me that they have relevant experience. I don't think it's arrogant to state your bona fides in a debate when some people are calling others into question.
In my view, there are very, very few here that are flashy about travelling a lot. I know from my days of travelling regularly (and nothing like as much as others) that it is not glamorous. I never get the impression here that people are bragging. Yes some are outspoken but you can reply or not and one of the most outspoken here is usually accurate in my view.
