As a reward for such loyalty, Mr Stuker will never queue again. And he will always be bumped up to first class.
I should think so, too. I hope the airline rolls out a red carpet for him. Mr Stuker’s story calls to mind George Clooney’s lonely character in Up In The Air, who achieved the same frequent-flying feat. But that was a film. The fact that anyone can fly this much – the equivalent of 400 times around the globe in 5962 flights over 29 years – is beyond my belief. I hate flying; I have to drug myself into a semi-conscious state just to get on the plane.
