So, say you go up 4 miles high, then you tavel 92 miles laterally, then you go down 4 miles; they count that all up as 100 miles flown. Multiply that out by the 10,000 Air France miles per actual mile flown and you've got your Million Miles!

It's Awesome. I just can't believe that when I clicked on that link (curiousity kills the cat once again) that I was only the 21st person to visit their awesome one page, two picture, email address requesting website.



Now, the real question is, how many frequent flyer miles do you give to those goats when they pay the toll to get over your bridge?
