    Default The Big Million

    Just hit it! DL 777 ATL-LAX tonight put me over the top, and now a thousand miles into my second million. If I keep this 300K miles/year pace, I might hit that next mark pretty soon!

    Better hurry up and get to IST. I just entered the 7 commercial flights I took in the last 48 hours and I'm up to 1,032,419 now......Passed you! I have a couple more flights in 30 hours.....and just booked the trip after that..

    Although I'm pretty burnt out, and currently sick....I'll slow down a bit eventually

    I knew you would!
    How can I compete, with my 50,000 miles a year compared to your 300,000...

    IST was fantastic!!
    Got biz elite both ways too.

    You went to IST when you were with DL, didn't you?

    The Flightmemory website keeps track as we enter the information.
    Luckily, I only flew two times before age 18 so I could remember the stats.....

    A million miles? I am impressed! I doubt that I'll travel that many in my entire life.

    You probably have but you just don't keep track.

    Calculate this for me. Say I went from Philippines to IAH via NRT 3 times there and back, Iah-EWR-Bej-Mnl-Nrt-Iah, say SPN-GUM-HNL, HNL-GUM-SPN, SPN-MNL, 3 times and back, SPN-GUM-NRT-SFO-ORD-BOS-JAX-DET-NGO-GUM-SPN, SPN-GUM-NRT-IAH and back like 4 times, Jax-Atl-Sfo-HKG-Singapore-Diego Garcia, back via Diego-Singapore-Nrt-Seattle-Chicago-Jax.

    That's not even the tip of it but lets assume 22 trips across the Pacific Ocean at least say from average of Guam to say average of Chicago. Is that a million alone there? I'm not even talking to South America, or Europe, or little hoppers all over the place.

    GUM-NRT-ORD is 7832 X 22 trips is 172304

    I just happen to have started flying at a time that flightmemory.com was available. It is a neat thing to keep track of the flights I take, and to see a map of the routes I've flown.

    It's also very helpful to me as I can't always remember where I was on a particular date, but I can look at my log and find out right away.
