The Magna Carta Is Earning 65,000 Miles Aboard BA
Jesse Tabit September 22, 2015
British Airways flew the Magna Carta from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on Monday in a celebration sponsored by the GREAT Britain Campaign and Hereford Cathedral, commemorating the 800 years since the document was signed. The anniversary tour of the document will span seven countries and earn the Magna Carta 65,000 miles over the next four months.
The trip from LHR to JFK, which saw the document traveling in first class, marks the first leg on the Magna Carta 800 Tour.

If corporations can be people (thank you "citizens united") then why not the Magna Carta? If it can occupy a seat then it deserves those flyer points the same as everyone else. (Plus bonus points for first!)
