There have been MANY threads on this and similar subjects in this forum over the years. IIRC someone posted that the head guy of Lions or Rotary clocked up an equally amazing number of miles. A check via "search" will I am sure find some previous references if you are interested.

I can recall reading of several FT'ers who do or have done around or above 500,000 flown paid miles a year. stimpy and CescoG are 2 others that come immediately to mind and I recall reading Merry has also clocked up telephone numbers some years. As long as it is being done in sleeper First on 747s it is not especially hard to take I bet.

The jeg lag is not bad if you sleep correctly on planes. I got back this Monday 7am from IAD-LAX-SYD, stayed up all day and went to sleep that evening here at a normal time and I feel fine. That is about 24 hours on planes and in airports, after I was up all day in IAD. Decent seats and long sleeps in flight are the keys.

Oh, and Temazepan is essential.
