Greetings from Hong Kong (2:45 am)! I appreciate all the nice words and hope to celebrate the big day with you! I still plan to make the trip MEL-SYD-LAX-ORD-EWR. That would be my first choice. I would also like it to be on a Friday or Saturday. As far as a doo....it could only be in Chicago..my hometown...the home of United and the soon to be world champion Bulls!
I am all for a Do in Chicago! And with it being a celebratory get together for you.... would definitely want to be there! You're the best!

Tom, this is an epic achievement. And I'd like to volunteer to write a few words. I'm no journo, so don't expect much.
I'm going to tag along if at all possible. So keep us posted re the final dates and I'll get cracking re finding seats and figuring out what the hell I'm going to tell my wife. And clients.

Congrats UA1Flyer on this remarkable Mile Marker! Was a pleasure meeting you at the SFO DO & would really love to be there for the Friday festivities @LAX plus Sat fun @ORD. Is the target weekend July 8, 9 & 10th? Naturally, the DEQM for SFO-LAX-ORD flights would just be another bonus to a great celebratory weekend.
Although I have been a Mileage Plus member from almost it's inception, I have flown 9 of the 10 million in the last 20 years.

So one of the targets for FT fun is Saturday, July 9, at ORD? Any idea when or where?
And separately from that, are the UA execs going to meet you at some point to congratulate their one and only 10 MM flyer?

As of now, I would say the exact flight will be the 11:00am LAX to ORD. It's a 757 with over 12 first class seats still available. Will confirm next week.
