United Airlines passenger flies 10 millionth mile

When Tom Stuker touches down in Chicago today on United Airlines flight 942 from Los Angeles, he will have flown 10 million miles on United, become the carrier’s–and possibly world’s–first known person to achieve that status.

The Chicago-based automotive sales consultant joined the carrier’s Mileage Plus frequent flyer programme in 1982 and since then has flown approximately 5,962 flights on United. That includes over 200 roundtrips to Australia, 30 to Asia, and 70 to Hawaii. Stuker, United’s most frequent passenger has also touched down in every state in America.

Reminds me of George Cloony’s character from up in the air.

I wonder if he ever wonders if he has more flighttime than the captain? 🙂

…and as a present from United, the 10 million miles man gets a 747 named after him.
