… where I crossed my millionth miles on United. The Captain and First officer signed the marked map…<\/p>\n
My flight this morning was EWR-LAX on an airbus 319\/320. When I boarded, I told the flight attendant I had a request for the captain. I had a note asking if he could mark the spot where I crossed my millionth mile, with the number of miles pending, a 4×6 photo of United’s flight map, and my boarding pass. It was probably the first time that flight attendant had received a request like that since he was excited and asked if the captain would know what to do (the captain was busy in the cockpit and I didn’t want to interrupt). I went to my exit row aisle seat and waited for takeoff. The captain’s ended his announcement by mentioning that there was a special guest onboard who would be crossing 1 million miles on the flight this morning and announced my name. Another flight attendant who was standing near me waiting for the security demonstration wondered aloud who it was and I sheepishly said it was me. She asked me if that meant I would get my name painted on a plane \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
During breakfast service, the flight attendant said that the captain had told them to give me anything I wanted off the cart. I selected the Bistro Scramble. I then slept a bit and then streamed a couple of episodes of House of Cards from the onboard entertainment. The first flight attendant saw me tracking the flight on united app and asked me if I was taking screenshots \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Just before noon eastern time, the Captain announced that we had a great view of the Grand Canyon, but what was special about this one was that a passenger (naming me) was going to fly his millionth United mile over the Grand Canyon… <\/p>\n
