Quick (hopefully) question, for those of us getting into travel for business+leisure: what are some of the more interesting places you've been to thus far?
Safe Travels,
James

I could relate with the weather, I live in NJ. At least we didn’t get Chicago’s snow this winter. Edith way, that’s why I spend a lot of time in Australia, Mexico and California this time of year.

Just passed 1 million PQM yesterday on my way home from Australia. also over half way to 21 million. I see that United is making a strong effort in improving service,in my last several flights, I have seen excellent service!!

user @gmt4 then made that graphic a little more realistic:
Who has flown (or will fly) 40 million miles on UA?

Funny. I would trade the 40 million medallion for the ability to live Long enough to have flown that many miles.

Ian in Frankfurt today and do London and finish the week in Melbourne. Saturday ,My wife and I visit some friends in LA, and continue to Honolulu Sunday for a whole week of downtime. I’ll head back to Japan and Hawaii the next week with my Brother,but fly over to Melbourne for that Saturday to celebrate a good friend’s 70th Birthday. Busy month. Should hit 20.7 million by the end of April Pretty exited about today’s flight back to Chicago! The 3 class cabin seats. Don’t see that very much any more!

Many times I'm caught going from Asia to Europe and that's impossible on United metal without going through the US first...

Tom - a serious question. You state that you've seen "improving service" over your recent flights. What kind of improvement are you seeing? More attentive service from FA's? Better food and drink? Or is it something else, such as on time departure and arrival?
thanks in advance.

Are you doing Japan, Hawaii, then MEL? So you fly TYO-HNL-SFO-MEL for a routing like that? And for London to Melbourne you fly to the US first I'm assuming so you can stay on UA?
