That’s like between 19 and 21 million miles right?
Yeah he flies to and from Aus essentially weekly (sometimes more frequently)... sounds like a pretty unhealthy lifestyle
Was it the pilot ?
If you assume a plane flies at ~550mph, this man has spent 36k+ hours butt in seat. 4 years of his life in a seat.
Nothing is worth that.
The Economist wrote about him last year. He has 20 million butt in seat miles. He runs some sort of car dealership consultancy and flies worldwide constantly.
I met a guy at a tiny airport in Michigan (MBS) who lived in Saginaw. He was wearing a t shirt that said "6 million miles" which was crossed out. Under it was "7 million miles" which was crossed out. Under that was "8 million miles". I looked past the obnoxiousness and inquired. That year alone he had 2M PQMs and 800k butt in seat miles. I do not envy him one bit.
You’re burying the lede. He’s flown 20 MM miles on UNITED!
Met him once in ORD after he had traversed through 4 continents within 5 days. It was his final leg and we had a 3 hour delay lol
Do his great great grandchildren get GS for life?
Sad
Given how efficient air travel is.. 4 year of his life in a seat and another 4 dealing with airports

Look up the flyertalk thread about ua1flyer. Flies very frequently between tokyo, London, Sydney, US
@EY2, it's the same guy. I believe he has an office in Bay City, MI. When I had encountered him, he was wearing his 14 mil shirt. United gives him the shirts
He must have radiation poisoning by now
Used to be that ALL smiles counted toward the lifetime. Meaning the butts in seat miles, plus any multipliers for elite status, plus promotions, plus credit cards. If he uses personal credit cards to buy international flights in Business as a 1k, those can add up to easily a million a year.
All airlines are now only counting butts in seats...so I’m only at 2.1M on AA. :(
Sounds like it’s time for him to move to Aus!
Barely getting to 4MM... but the sad thing is that he teaches staff at car dealerships to sell cars. I met one of his students once- and I he apparently teaches all the things that make people hate car dealers
^ No he doesn’t, at 4MM you’re lifetime Global Services
And we complain about being on the road too much...
