Your only shot is if Tom hits the restroom at the beginning of service - or you can bring gifts like I do for the FA's - it helps to temporarily wipe the rockstar haze from their eyes when Tom strolls on board... On my last trip to NRT with him it scored me two - yes TWO - pieces of garlic bread before Tom knew what was happening - and that was the last I saw of it....

After passing 800,000 PQM and 300 PQS ,it's time for a break. Taking the wife and her extended family of 15 first class to Hawaii for 12 days . Is there any better way to spend all these miles? On the ground for 12 days. Can't think of the last time that happened. Looking forward to some Quality time with the family and showing them all a great time in Hawaii. (First time for all my nieces and nephews.)

You deserve the relaxing downtime! Oddly enough, I will be on Oahu for a couple of weeks myself starting next week Tuesday. Are you folks there already or are you the reason award availability is scanty next week? lol

and now in addition to having a plane named for you, you'll have the First Class cabin named for you as well

. I wonder how many passports you go through in a year. The amount spent to travel that much must be astounding.

When Tom was honored for crossing over 10 million miles, United did name a 747 after him ^
