Largest current SkyMiles balance: 21,846,145 miles

I was nosing around SkyMiles the other day as InsideFlyer gets ready to acknowledge their 25th Anniversary this coming September, when I happened upon this factoid:
The largest current SkyMiles balance is 21,846,145 miles.

Now, In a few programs I have some very respectable mileage balances, but I'm not even close to 20 million miles, let alone over 21 million. I suspect there have been larger balances, but redemption, etc. can hurt the frequent flyer bottom line.

Here's a few other factoids for you all to noodle because I am impressed:

Most transoceanic segments in 2005: 61
Most miles flowm: 519,676

OK, how's your stats for last year? Kind of makes you want to check your hotel point balance huh?

Always fascinating info. Anyway, there's this and more in the Feb. issue of InsideFlyer. (P.S. youngest elite member: 2 months old.)
