Since making 2 million miles on UNITED, I get lifetime Platinum which includes 2 - 50lbs checked bags. When you hit 3 million miles you get lifetime 1k! Not sure I'll make that. I'm currently at 2.7M and travel for the big W is varying from COVID - ZERO miles to a weekly run to the east coast and back. Most of the big Road Warriors are pond jumpers where you accumulate massive miles per turn. Glad you like the foreign travel, all mine has been for business. Check out new equipment before it ships to site; Germany, Italy, Finland (during the summer Solstice, that was something!). I carry on my laptop go kit and check my steel toe boots - takes 1/2 bag, hard hat, go to mill clothes in a up size rollaboard (never get that in the overhead). I still do red-eyes now and then. I've noticed it takes a lot more out of me next day than it used to. I remember a red-eye from SEA to ORD, aisle seat, you in row in front of me. Beverage cart comes up in complete darkness... THUD! I guess you saw stars that night.
You have a good memory about my head getting clocked by a beverage cart. I don’t even remember that happening with you, but it happened many times since! Maybe that’s why I have a failing memory in retirement!
I am impressed how much mileage you accumulated! The big W has been lucky to have someone so committed to the cause!
