How about choosing a route from gcmap.com that will give you exactly 20M (a few miles over are okay)?
Happy travels!

Gcmap will not do it. Nor will the star alliance timetable. UA is sometimes different by. 1 or 2 miles.

I did this for my million milestone, bit it took some serious spreadsheet work and hunting UA to get it right

Happy to help if he wants to hit 2 with 8 zeroes.

not a bad idea, but want to find a route that I can share the experience with my wife and kids. Maybe do it between now and then. Always wanted to do that route.

It would be pretty awesome to hit exactly 20,000,000.
Of course the flying to a good destination also matters. I think UA1 is a good idea.

Hello Tom,

We've been looking into both Seaborne and Crystal for our next cruise. Greatly appreciate if if you could PM me a bit more details on why one was better than the other.

Thank you!

You may have addressed this back on the thread, but how do you feel about UA eliminated GF? I assume you'll be treated just as well as before, but will being in the Polaris/BF cabin make flying UA a bit less attractive for you? (I'm guessing you're one of the few UA customers for whom the elimination of GF actually matters much . . . )

I was thinking the new UA115 SFO-PPT route... party on the plane, and then relax for a few days in Tahiti.

Thank you!
if you go Seabourn do the small ships. They built a mid size ship a year ago to compete with Crystal. That’s what we sailed on. Understaffed, food was like a high school cafeteria. Even the Seabourn loyalists were disappointed. I you go Seabourn, stay with the smaller ships until they figure it out. There is a reason Crystal was voted best cruise line 13 years or so......Best food,best service,best entertainment etc. Just did my 8th cruise with them. I will book 2 next year. They have the highest retention rate of all cruise lines. It costs more than most other cruise lines, but worth every penny!

I hit 2.5 million PQM tonight as well as pass 19,7 million BIS. 20 million is now within sight. I will update at 19.8. Need to figure out what route to take for my 20 million. Any ideas?

My deck might be bigger... and I’ll fire up the grill. Port Melbourne is a great community, luck to be here and watch the Spirit of Tazzy pull out each night. Can’t wait for some better weather to enjoy the views.

@ua1flyer ... have you narrowed down the choices for your celebratory route?
