I’m currently at about 22;770,000, about 230,000 to go until 23. Should hit it late sept or early October. I should have it narrowed down to a 2 week window by sometime in August when we hit 22.9 . 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)

That's actually a great idea. You've been on UA's greatest flights, on its most memorable aircraft, enjoying the best UA has to offer. Why not cross the finish line as a testament to all of us that have to fly that plane occasionally. I'd like to see how UA spins your experience on that flight. Sort of like switching out your Tour de France-quality cycle for a tricycle for the last few meters.

And agree with this suggestion. You can never go wrong with Tokyo.
