My plans are constantly changing , but my best guess on hitting the 20million would be between November 3rd and November 11th. These are 2 troundtrips to Australia. I was contacted by United yesterday ,informing that they would like to do something at the Chicago Polaris on a date following. Don’t have any details. Not sure what they will do. I’m expecting something along the lines of much less 6han the 10 million. I would be thrilled with cake champagne a new jacket and my family by my side. United has always ,Day in and day out globally givin me more than I would expect and more than I deserve. I should throw them(my second family) a party for them!! I will post another update about the exact date and flight as well as any party info in about a week.

Congrats Tom. I will be doing the SYD / SIN rounds this weekend through next week.
Any recommendations on restaurants in SYD?
Any plans to go for 30MM?

plenty of great restaurants at “The Rocks” or Darling Harbour. Beautiful views and people watching as well. Safe travels. Can’t conceive of 30 million. Would love to hit 25 though. That would mean I live to 70. That milestone is more important than ANY more millions. ........ still love flyin though.

I pass 19,950,000 tomorrow heading home from Melbourne. I stop in LA for the day to meet with my partner on our new product that fights jet lag. Very exited about recent test results. I will announce the date and flight that I will pass the 20 million. Unofficially it will be November 7th from Newark to Australia. I will confirm in the next few days.

Guess it's one year to the day of the last 747 flight. Maybe they can bring one out of the graveyard just for your flight?

I've never posted on your thread until now, Txx. However, after perhaps 4mm on various airlines since birth (My father is a retired 744 skipper), I respect the amazing amount of travel you've completed.
And as other posters have commented, it is surely due to your graciousness that you are treated so well. We've never met but perhaps I'll have the pleasure someday.

It is official. The 20 million flight will be on Wednesday the 7th on the 6 pm flight Newark to LAX. Ironically , I will pass the 20 million mark almost exactly where I crossed 10 million..... right over Des Moines.

My kids can’t make it ,but my wife will. I actually cancelled a few trips so that she would be able to join me. She is a teacher and has those days off. We are going to Australia for our friends 60th birthday party.
