1MM Flight Today

Went over the 1MM mark today. Thanks to everyone here that has been helpful in sharing their knowledge. Also a big thanks to Delta and the great Delta employees.

On arrival I was met by the Delta Porsche service and they gave me a little notepad with RFID protected pockets and a thank you card. They also gave me their business card and told me if I ever needed a Porsche pickup just give them a call.

Congrats on 1MM, the Porsche ride, and the cool swag. Was this at your "home" airport LAS? If so, I didn't know there was Porsche service away from hubs.

Did you notify them in any way that you were hitting 1MM? Nada for me at 1MM.

About 5 years. I wish I had discovered Delta and frequent flyer status earlier in my life. Back then I flew whatever. Somehow I managed to pick NW or Delta for a bunch of flights anyway so when they merged, I got a little boost from that. Then I flew SW for 6 years for some unknown reason. I've had a few double diamond years so that helped.

No, it was on my outbound connection at DTW.

I thought I would tweet them next time I flew but then it slipped my mind. So they picked me.

Lucky you! Congrats. This is something new or you must be special . I passed the 1 MM and 2 MM thresholds without special personal attention, but I could pick out a gift (carry-on luggage).

Wow, OP must be a 360. I literally got a middle seat for my 1MM flight.

I got a porsche ride a couple months ago but that was just luck. Nothing else except a letter from the local station chief a month later.

Seriously, I was thinking the same thing. Mine was 36B on a 739. Was a truly memorable experience

Hold the presses! Looks Ike my connection didnt post yet. So still not a 1MM. Should I try for an early flight and see if I get picked again?
