I do get acknowledged on maybe 25% of my flights as a Million Miler but, hey, that was 4 million miles ago.

Part of (what I assume is) the script they read from when the flight reaches 10,000 feet includes a phrase along the lines of "... we'd like to thank all our Medallion members and Million Milers for flying with us today". I don't usually hear them enumerate the different Medallion levels, just that separate callout for MM.

I was on an FLL-JFK yesterday morning in 2C and the FA came to me first for the breakfast selection. I'm sure it wasn't my stunning good looks or charming banter, but more likely my DM/3MM status.

In 2 weeks, I will hit 1MM on a flight DTW-PVG and the flight is super packed and I am not even in E+ just normal economy since it is so full (normally as DM, I would be "upgraded" to E+), I'm not holding my breath for recognition but who knows?

I think the flight manifest just shows MM, but not how many MM's you have.

On a separate note, when they make the announcement thanking medallions and MMers, it may seem generic, but I know they are really just talking to me. Although I don't stand up and take up a bow anymore, as the applause from the rest of the cabin can drown out the FA's safety announcement.

I believe the paper manifest still only show MM no matter how many MM you have. I've been told when they look in their app on the phablet, it differentiates between 1MM, 2MM, etc.

DL-Don correct. The FA showed me 1 time. I hit 4MM Monday MSP-DEN

You're right, the manifest doesn't. But the app on their smartphones gives them the exact number of SM you have. I've had a few FAs comment on the number of miles I have.

Thanks but I am not there yet. I expect to make it though . I have a write-up I will post after I get up Monday about getting to 4MM on DL and NW.

BTW your 5+ is very impressive.

You are right, I wouldn't hold my breath. I have never gotten recognition on a flight and personally, that is fine with me. Most passengers probably don't care either.

By the way, it is C+ (Comfort Plus, not Economy Plus)
