Man With 10 Million Air Miles Gets Plane Named After Him

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday July 12, 2011 @02:54AM from the fly-me-to-the-moon dept.

Chicago car salesman Thomas Stuker has set a record by accumulating an astonishing 10 million air miles on United Airlines. In the past 29 years Thomas has flown almost 6,000 times - racking up a total mileage that would circle the Earth 400 times. From the article: "Mr Stuker has already been highly rewarded with access to a special lounge at the airlines hub in Chicago, first-class upgrades as a matter of course and even a plane named after him on the fleet."
