50-74, is my guess.
I've flown with family when I was little, and to/from vacations when I was in college. I sometimes flew for business. And, I've been lucky enough to enjoy many vacations, home and abroad.
A friend, who has passed away, was an airline pilot, and flew his own small plane. We did many trips around the US and Canada.

Well over 100 times. Between 1995 and 2019, I don't think there was any year when I flew fewer than 20 times. I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of all the flights I take. I will update this post after I can look up my spreadsheet.
*** EDIT ***
That’s 1146 trips since 1995. That’s NOT counting each leg of a trip separately; if it took two connections (three flights) to get from my point of departure to my final destination, that counts as one trip for me.

Never
The plane did the flying, I just sat in the seat
I was on one flight with Bruce Springsteen and Mrs. Boss. He was sitting up front and I didn't feel like bugging him. Did see him in the Terminal and he talked to me for a while. Decent guy.
And I sat next to Phil Lesh, bass player for the Grateful Dead. Didn't recognize him for half the flight, he wasn't wearing his glasses and he wasn't wearing tie dye. Another cool guy.

I used to fly alone for work quite a bit. Oddly enough, I even enjoyed the layovers and enjoyed the airports. I could find fun anywhere.

well over 100 times but STILL have moments of slight to medium anxiety on the plane when it goes through turbulent areas. Turbulence is normal. As normal as the flapping wings of an aircraft. The annual injury report seems to be about 50 ppl out of about 2 billion fliers, & most of those were ppl ignoring seat belt signs &/or walking about the cabin. Reading about flying from actual airplane captains is quite reassuring. As for those flapping wings... that's their job. If they were stiff, they'd have blown off.

Reading about flying from actual airplane captains is quite reassuring. As for those flapping wings... that's their job. If they were stiff, they'd have blown off. yes rationally I know its pretty normal and safe to go through a turbulance and have talked to both captains and cabin staff, but my LIZZARD brain still freaks out a bit when turbulance seems to be “too big” for my taste - which is pretty much anytime the staff is told to sit down and mu butt feels like it actually LIFTS off the seat when the aircraft shakes and drops). I also NEED my captain to sound Super calm when announcing it, hehe, thats really important for me to see the staff calm smiling and hear the captain relaxed  |

Over a dozen. I flew about a month ago to and from Florida. What’s weird is my anxiety over flying has grown as I’ve gotten older. I flew for the first time when I was 18, right after 9/11, and it didn’t bother me at all. But this year, every flight during takeoff and landing in white knuckling. I don’t understand it.

I'm thinking 17 times, give or take. That's counting stops.

That must be a recent or local guideline as I’ve never encountered it.
