Finally made Million Miler today

Would have done this much earlier this year, but you know....

Sounds like my timing is off since the program is suspended. I was looking forward to my budget luggage reward....not.

Any insight to any appreciation from Delta?

Did the pilot come out and teach you the handshake? Then let you fly some circles?

Congrats!, it is a big deal. I was DM for ~10 years before I hit it. It ain't easy for us MQS haulers.

Congratulations.
I hit 1MM with the merger and 2MM on a VN flight so no special recognition on flights.
1 Hartmann and 1 Tumi as gifts.

Congrats! I was at .85 towards MM when the NW/DL merger was announced. Even now Im only up to .97 or so, and mostly due to some Jumbo J deals.

Congrats on the MM. I got a nice Hartman backpack out of the deal. But it took a while.

Recognition? It depends. I have gotten some really nice hand written notes from the purser and some nice comments from some FA's. Last night was "thanks for being a MM and keeping me employed." I guess I get some kind of acknowledgement about 40% of the time on mainline and maybe 10% on the regional carriers.

Delta is my go to 100% now that United pulled out of my local airport. Delta has taken care of me. Glad to finally hit 1MM. I do not feel like going for 2 MM though.

Email congratulations from Delta came this morning. New bag tags should be sent in a few weeks. Gift selection will be available TBD.
