Tom Stuker raises the bar on the term “frequent flyer”. Stuker, who last year reached the milestone of 10 million miles flown with United Airlines, has set a new record by flying over a million miles with the airline in a calendar year. To accomplish this feat he estimates to have flown 400 flights this year.
Stuker’s career as an automotive sales consultant demands that he fly regularly to Asia and Australia, and the number of miles that he has clocked on United — over 13 million at last count — ensure that he is treated like royalty by the airline’s staff.
One day, if you travel enough, maybe an airline will name a plane after you!
