Too bad you didn't get to see him at the gate. My guess is that with status like that he was carried onboard by the flight crew before the wheelchairs were allowed to board.

No. Not even close.

At this level, Chuck Norris holds the door open for him.

Every. Single. Door.

The Unobtanium Medallium member's feet repel the ground so the member can move about the airport effortlessly.

Airplanes are held at the gate for them, and leave as soon as they board, regardless of the schedule.

Gate lice are not an impediment, they simply retreat in awe without the slightest prompt from the gate agent. For the Unobtanium member, everyone else, including fifteen million miler DMs, is gate lice.

First class? Delta One? Unobtanium members have their own class, unknown to everyone else in the fleet. Dedicated flight butlers materialize as the member merely thinks of a need.

You have witnessed the presence of an Unobtanium member. Behold that memory, cherish that moment, for it is a rare moment indeed.
