On Friday, Oct. 19, Randy Petersen, publisher of InsideFlyer magazine and WebFlyer.com, will begin a two-week "airathon" that will take him to 44 cities, 38 states and three countries, covering a total of 52,495 miles - all to show the traveling public that airline travel is safe and that the travel industry is financially secure. All of the flights are on US Airways.

"This is the mileage run to end all mileage runs," says Randy. "It's important to me, as a frequent traveler and as an American, to demonstrate my confidence in the airlines - that's why I'm taking this trip. Plus, I just love the fact that US Airways is offering double miles on all flights right now."

Randy is inviting other travelers to join him on his trip. This Web site will feature his daily itinerary and travel updates, as well as a Web diary in which Randy will record the details of his trip.

So, for the next two weeks...Come Fly With Me
