Thanks.
How much do you fly, in terms of hours, on a monthly basis?
2 hours (average 1 UK internal same-day return trip a month, used to be 4 when I worked for someone else)
How long is your typical layover, if you're not based in a hub city?
N/A (the UK just isn't big enough)
Have you ever left (or ever considered leaving) the airport during a long layover?
(long layovers have always been leisure, planned to allow an overnight stay en-route to a far-flung destination) I'd have to have quite a few hours (6+) before considering leaving an airport unless I knew the area well.
How often does business bring you near an airport, but not into the city the airport serves?
About 3 times a year, usually due to exhibitions that are being held near Birmingham, UK. London exhibitions usually entail going into the city.

Not a frequent enough flyer now, I've never had check in problems as I tend to arrive too early anyway although the KLM check-in at Amsterdam Schipol was handy (automated - just scan your passport and you're done - no queues).
How much do you fly, in terms of hours, on a monthly basis?
15 to 20 hours
How long is your typical layover, if you're not based in a hub city?
1 hour if I am travelling within the US, typically more if I am travelling outside the US
Have you ever left (or ever considered leaving) the airport during a long layover?
I have thought about - but I have never been in an airport with proximity close enough to a city center (or other notable destination) to make the trip outside the airport worth it

I am not sure I understand the question, but oftern fly into Dallas (DFW) or Chicago (ORD) airport and never visit Chicago or Dallas
