Seems like it was just yesterday we celebrated 10 million miles.Last week when I passed 16 million both the staff in Newark and Chcago went out of there way to celebrate the milestone. Classy. Great people. Just passed 400,000 PQM for the year. I am finding the service much more consistently good.

I'm curious if you ever fly coach? (i'm about 50/50)
What's your favorite plane and seat? (mine is Global First on the 747 row 2)
Favorite Lounge? (I usually don't spend time in them as I get to airport as late as possible)
thanks!

Working on it.
1) about 50 coach flights a year because of regional jets not offering first. 2) Favorite seat would be 1K on a 3 class 767 with 2nd choice 1A on a 747. 3) Hands down my favorite lounge is ORD Global lounge. The entire staff is like family. love hanging with my friends there. My second favorite used to be the LAX International First Class lounge. I miss it and the staff there terribly! Third pick London Global,fourth Sydney (sentimental and Annie) fifth San Fransisco and sixth Dulles International First.

(The things we do for our kids, right? He gets an award ticket, which can sometimes be a similar price for saver F as standard Y, so he gets to sometimes sit up front. I have to fly on a paid ticket to requalify for Plat).

Great meeting you at the Narita GFL today!
What a nice surprise to meet you in person today after reading so much about you over the years. Thanks for the good conversation and, yes, Ho Chi Minh and Siem Reap (even if you have to cheat and fly ANA from NRT) are great vacation destinations for some future vacation with your wife!
Congrats on 16MM and I hope we cross paths again!
