In the movie Up in the Air, Ryan Bingham describes the rewards that come with accumulating 10 million American Airlines miles. As in the movie, American counts all mileage for lifetime status purposes including elite bonuses and credit card miles, at least for now. Yesterday, Tom Stuker put the finishing touches on flying 10 million butt-in-seat miles with United Airlines.
United named another plane after him. Previously, N770UA, a Boeing 777-222 was painted with “Thomas R. Stuker, Customer.”
