1,000,000 Miles
I just landed in Los Angeles, bringing my total flight miles on United to 999,173. On Thursday, I’ll add another 862, crossing that 1,000,000 mile mark.
I’m trying to put this in perspective:
- that’s more than 40 times around the world
- that’s the distance to the moon and back – TWICE!
- at 60 mph, that would be 694.4 days of driving
- that’s 5,000,000 drives by Tiger Woods (with a driver)
- that’s 2,000 hours in the air (not counting taxiing to and from the terminal) or one full business year
- that’s about 100 years of walking every single day
Now that I think about it, that’s a long way and a long time to be in an airplane.
And that’s only United.
I’d hate to add Delta, American, Frontier, Alaskan and others.
That’s a wow!

PSS. I’m not even 50 yet.
