Nice, Congrats on the 2MM. We did celebrate with some drinks in the skyclub, but just the two of us.

Did they make an announcement? How about Delta in general - is there a gift?
last time I called customer service they congratulated me on being close to a million miler - I realized I am just 3 flights away - should reach it going to Tokyo in 2 months if I can travel there, if not we are going to Egypt and will reach it going to Amsterdam.
I am strangely excited about reaching this goal!

No special recognition on either but not expected, either.
Mine was on an AF flight from IAD-CDG on my way to SIN with my youngest son. Nothing expected and nothing received, but I was happy to be up front on a lie-flat.

I crossed the 2mm mark while downgraded from a paid F seat to comfort +. ATL-MCO

I got no recognition from the flight staff nor the FF staff, in the home office

Just another day on Delta

Just curious -- why do you aspire to cross 1MM on D1 from MSP to HNL? The 763 is the bottom rung of D1.

Better than on the last row of an ERJ 175?

While the 767-300 is my least favorite of the D1 products in terms of the seat, I personally don’t have the same level of dislike for the 767-300 in D1 that many others have on here.

I was excited about reaching it too, congrats. There was no announcement or really any mention anywhere except the flight attendant gave us a bunch of free drinks. There is a gift selection at some point, but I received an email that gift selection is suspended due to Covid.

Either a humble or smelly million. Enjoy your new Tumi. Life is not much greener after 1M unfortunately.

Congratulations! Glad to see that they recognized the accomplishment. I am just shy of 4MM due to COVID, otherwise I would be there now. Sadly, my experience with crossing the thresholds was celebrated only by the email letting me know that I was eligible to select a gift. Maybe when I get to 4MM next year.

True. I tend to spend more time on AA/JetBlue nowadays. Although the Delta Skyclubs are way better than the AA Admirals clubs.
