Unexpected - Milestone Award

Not seen this before! I got a plain envelope in the mail, inside a card from Delta (looks really handwritten) thanking me and congratulating me on a 2019 Milestone Award winner. Not sure what milestone I made (just passed 1.5MM if that was it?)

Nice gold metal bag tag!

Are you one of these people: http://deltamilestones.delta.com/

Perhaps Keith B or Keith J in the Continent Conquerors category "THESE MEDALLION® MEMBERS ARE IN A CATEGORY OF THEIR OWN FOR FLYING TO SIX CONTINENTS IN 2019."

I wonder how many of the milestone award winners are FTers. I'm pretty sure the "Top Miler" is, but I'm not going to give away his handle.

Torn on that one! I took my boss to Australia for his first ever visit and we had a blast at the weekend driving from Sydney to the Gold Coast (Sepember, way before fires!)

Asia is probably my favourite continent though. I lived in Singapore for a few years, it's always good to get back in that region.

Europe I can leave - I'm from the UK so been so many times.

Africa was a chore last year, but taking Mrs T for a first ever visit later this year (and going on a small safari), so looking forward to that one next!

Milestone Awards are only for Medallions with primary addresses within the US, correct?

Incorrect. DL via Twitter just told me they are open to all Medallions regardless of location.

The Top Miler is introduced as living in Zurich.

Didn't you get the email from DL announcing this year's milestone awards a week or so ago?

DL did something similar last year and I vaguely know the guy who was the top dog then in terms of miles flown.

Mine was titled with "Look Back On 2019 as a Platinum Medallion Member" It said I was a "continent conqueror" however it wasn't really clear this was a notification I was going to be in the big official milestone awards page from the email.
