Any suggestions on which flight (city pairs) I should do it on ? My buddy was the million miler that did it on a flight with a guy passing 4 million at the same time. Anybody else want to cross a milestone at the same time. ( don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder though)

Sort of like switching out your Tour de France-quality cycle for a tricycle for the last few meters.
