Chicago Frequent flier hits 10 million miles - Blu-ray Forum

rkolinski · 07-12-2011, 12:36 PM

The CEO of United Airlines, Jeff Smisek, was waiting when Thomas Stuker stepped off of his flight from Chicago to Los Angeles on Saturday to congratulate him on flying his 10 millionth mile with the airline, to award him a permanent upgrade and to tell him a plane would be named in his honor.

Stuker, a car sales consultant from Illinois, has taken roughly 6,000 United fights over the last 29 years, bouncing around the country and Europe from dealership to dealership, traveling a distance that could stretch around the earth 400 times according to the Daily Mail.

I used to fly every other week (and be gone for 5 days) and did that for decades. It was tiring for me and it really was hard on relationships.

And statistically driving is far more dangerous. Congrats to this guy.
