Since I have been mentioned here, I can take a moment and clarify my travels -

I take on average 1.5 RTW's per month generally of 10 day duration - therefore 30 days every 2 months of RTW travel. The average 35K miles which ends up at 630,000 - add in the point to point trips which will often include 1 day trips to the UK and I must be at 800K - I also have at least 3 employees who are at the same level.

To finish the logic, this ends up around 2M miles per year with bonuses and such plus an equal amount from CC charges (almost all company charges of course) That would = 25M in a bit over 6 years - I have been doing this for 5 and will be for at least another 5 wich = 40M miles over 10 years - so basic math says this is not all that difficult

I can not believe that I am all the unique - however, I will say that the poster who did not bother to think through the logic of travel schedules and simply concluded at OZ was fabricating this does not really understand the concept of this community. There are several ultra high volume PAX here - we don't do this for fun - it is simply the way of life for our business.
