Define "... I don't even fly very much...". That phrase means many different things depending on the people saying it. Your perception of not very much already is a lot more often than mine, and could very well place you in the frequent category compared to the rest of us.
I typically take about one international and one domestic round trip flight every two years. I haven't flown for the last two years but this year we're doing that trip to Turkey/Spain. That is definitely not "frequent" in my book. When I worked for a big corporation many years ago I used to do a lot more. I know quite a lot of people in the corporate rat race who still do 20 or more trips a year, many to distant international destinations. That's what I call a frequent flier.

I think that falls under the category of "Bah! I hate travelling". There is only so much to see within a couple of thousand miles of home, and that's about the limit of my tolerance for road trip vacations (of which I still take many).
