It was a memory of a lifetime!! So, What show would you like to appear on through an auction?
Maybe a show like Fallon or Kimmel, or even a cameo on a prime time show? Like you could play "bartender #3" or something like that.

I absolutely would. That would be awesome. I would just fly every day if I could get that.

I would take out a mortgage to do that!

But you made me think of another one:

Auctioning increments of lifetime miles!

What about a special 1-year “Polaris” lounge membership and/or a one-time visit pass that could be used when traveling international on UA Y.

Would also be interesting to see a special buddy pass-like GPU that could be applied to any one UA metal flight and clears just above non-revs.

Appearance on Big Metal Bird discussing on board food with UA's executive chef, getting a tour of the meal prep facilities and sampling the various dishes, hopefully not out of DEN.

Companion status match for a year. If you you are a MM'er, you can nominate a second companion to share your status.

I believe he is "himself" at 0:42-0:50 in video clip; in background reading a newspaper.
