The first person to fly 10 Million Miles on United
Last weekend, Tom Stuker became the first person to journey 10 million miles in the air with United (“butt-in-seat” miles, not including credit card points). It took him about 30 years, and what he got was way cooler than what George Clooney got in Up in the Air. Along with a bunch of other stuff, he got his name on a 747 (amusingly, he already has his name on a 777). Rachel Talks Travel has a great summary of this accomplishment.
Stuker is a Chicago-based consultant for the automotive industry. Here’s an interview with him, and here’s another good article. Lives in a different world, I tell ya.
