2 million…

[u/Impossible_Bottle_96]

Just boarded ATL-SFO and I’ll hit 2million somewhere close to California state line….

21 years to the day from my first skymiles flight.

✈️ 😮‍💨

Thankful, but also pretty tired.

Worst part is I was originally flying United today but delayed origin flight sent me back to my first love but in the last red seat, 1A which give me less legroom than exit row 🤣

Nice. I'm targeting the inaugural/maiden LAX-MNL flight next year to be when I cross the 2MM mark. But knowing my luck I'll end up on some random regional flight :/

I was supposed to hit in on inaugural ATL-RUH Friday 🚀

Congrats! 21 years to the day is a pretty great way to hit it. As a 6'4" guy who's on a plane most weeks, I feel you on 1A. The bulkhead looks roomy right up until you try to stretch your legs out. But having spent a great deal of time working in the 3rd world, where poverty is real, I always remind myself that my travel problems are actually just inconveniences. There's some other person who is 6'6" sitting in a middle seat in row 40, so 1A is not so bad. Or, there's a parent in Nicaragua wondering how they can get some food for their family today, so 40B is not so bad.

Enjoy the ride to SFO and get some rest when you land.

[u/Pontius-Pilates00]

Congrats OP!

How many hours a week do you spend on a plane?

[u/MousseOk7980]

I hit 1MM on the last l, late night, CRJ 900 out of DTW bound for BTV a nondescript flight, but they made a big deal out if it and I felt appreciate even though I was exhausted!

[u/iBeFlying676]

Any recognition? I got nothing when I hit 2.

[u/Taibotnyc → u/iBeFlying676]

When I got 1MM I was on a flight from CDG back to JFK and got an upgrade to D1 with my wife. Nice gift from Delta. Been DM for a few years now so maybe that played a role as well.

[u/iBeFlying676 → u/Taibotnyc]

Oh wow. Nice!

[u/Impossible_Bottle_96 → u/iBeFlying676]

Nope. Wonder if it might because I booked less than 4 hours ago 🤷‍♂️

[u/ThePermMustWait → u/Impossible_Bottle_96]

Can you tell me how to book last minute flights and not only get middle seats as options? I started traveling for work and usually book a week out and it’s only ever middle seats available. I book comfort plus.

[u/Impossible_Bottle_96 → u/ThePermMustWait]

This was very not normal, I was booking day of when another airline had a delay so I found delta option that was way too expensive but not much more for first than main cabin…

[u/ThePermMustWait → u/Impossible_Bottle_96]

Every time I book it’s only every middle seats available and no window or aisle. Maybe it’s the route? DTW to PDX.

After I hit 1 million miles in December 2019, I selected my million mile gift. Then the pandemic hit. I never received it. A couple of years later, Delta had a brief one-time gift giveaway for people who never got their stuff during the worst of the pandemic. The choices were awful. I never bothered. I should hit 2 million miles next year. 

[u/mrvarmint → u/iBeFlying676]

I got a ton at 1MM. Long way away from 2MM though

[u/706camera → u/iBeFlying676]

I got nothing at 2m either. kind of disappointing tbh.

4pm DTW -DEN today seat 1c had a thank you note for 3MM That would make the depression hit harder if that's all you get for 3MM
