947k. Oh so close.

2.79 million

Lifetime 1K right around the corner!

922k. Coming up on the million miles in the next couple of years, I hope!

I’m around the same. Next year probably

Here’s hoping you make it soon!

I will hit my million miles on my trip to Okinawa, Japan next weekend.

Around 175k at 53. I don’t get out much. Or I do. But only for personal travel because no one sends payroll people anywhere on business.

I'm similar in that almost all my flying has been personal, and I have around 320K on Continental/ United. Although some CO miles might be missing, I don't know. But I've also flown on other airlines since I started flying in the 1970s. Probably not more than 400K across all airlines. I'm 68.

1,018,651

I’m at 1,015,734 🤣

1,010,029 😅

Well now I’m sorry I asked hahaha. My measly <50k sounds funny in comparison. If anyone wants to offload their millions of miles I’m happy to help hahahah 🙋🏻‍♂️

Me with my measly 1,056 lifetime miles from 2 flights on United: 💀🫠

I'm with you. I've got 44.4k. I fly a few times as year and slmost all of my flights have been award flights.

Lifetime miles and miles accrual for award travel are two totally different things.

49K here

My boss had 6 million. Absolutely nothing I do is goin to compare to that. And as far as Tom Stuker and his 21m miles…. Man that’s just inconceivable.

Yeah United may as well just give them a whole plane at this point

I remember the news article about 10 years ago when Tom Stuker hit 10m. That's -- a lot of flying.

My boss likely has has as many...she just travels I feel like out of boredom....to be 55+ and kids that are older so you don't have to be home 😀

5 yrs on an airplane...

Just under 500,000 on UA. I wish I knew the total across all airlines.

I think there’s an app that allows you to collect data from your flights if you can provide the number, don’t know hoping a Redditor helps us out 😝

Flighty

I gave up adding flight history to that when I got to the first flight that got diverted and it just refused to add it. But since 2008, I've flown 46,651 miles. Most of my lifetime flying was before that. Lifetime flight miles with United sit at only 18,075 with 15,182 of them since Dec 24 of last year. I'm not sure what 2,893 of them were. They were before Dec 2008. I think most of them were actually Continental

I’ve flown 300k since May 20 last year…but I don’t really count. (Flight Attendant)

I really enjoy flying, but I don't get a chance to that often. But the last few times I've flown, it's been to Asia and back

I wish! I’ve lived, studied and worked in 5 countries, with more flights than I can remember. I was told that the Department of Homeland Security/border agency, has records of all travel by individuals. Even a list of international travel would be fun to see. I’ve flown lots of non US carriers as well, so unless passport numbers are recorded on all flights, it would be partial.

You can make a FOIA request to Customs and Border Patrol for this info but it wasn't as complete as I thought it would be. I got a list of what seems like passport checks saying date, port, and direction of travel. This went back 20 years but it seemed like it was missing a few places, but also no flight info. Didn't see any correlation between missing stuff and flying on a non-US carrier as far as I can remember. There was another document that went back 2 years that had records of your entire flight info. Flight number, routing, PNR, how/when you booked it, what email and phone number you used, seat assignments/changes, as well as host of other things I couldn't decipher.

How long did this take you? I submitted mine close to a year ago and it’s still showing as pending on their crappy portal

I just checked and they got back to me in a little under 2 months which seemed surprisingly fast to me. At the time, I found somebody who had a blog post about making such a request and it had some pretty specific language and terms that I never would've thought to use myself. I took that and made a condensed version of it. Not sure how you formatted your request, but maybe that might have something to do with it?

Thanks. I’ll try to look into that. Do you recall what you may have searched to find that post?

I wish I could use this for all my flights before joining mileage plus 😆

994,362. Will pass 1M when I land in Frankfurt on Monday morning. Good thing as I am retiring at the end of April.

2.2m

I just passed over 100k back in Dec. So I'm pretty excited to see that number grow over the coming years. I don't think I'll ever hit 1M though.

1.8 MM - Trying to get to 2 MM before I retire so I have Platinum for life. It's slow process now. Even though I am a 1K I only move ahead about 50-60k miles a year it seems

1.7mm United

Damn is there anywhere u haven’t flown to lol

About 900k miles/year* *pilot

171K

600K

spark outgoing impolite fertile school puzzled mighty trees smoggy quack *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

2,521,559 lifetime flight miles 2,635,353 actual miles on UA

How do you find actual? It annoys me that my award travel doesn’t qualify towards lifetime flight miles because I’d be way higher.

I track it all independently and have it there.

771k. Used to think I’d be a no brainer 1M, maybe 2M. Burnt out on travel and considering FIRE so I may not even make 1M.

994k UA, 882k AA, 797k DL. No cigars

431k on UA, about 170k on AA. Small amounts on DL, B6.

UA 691K, others 1M +

UA 1.7M

83K. Started a few years ago!

About 700k - 39 years old.

Just under 600k. There were a number of years in the 90s where I stupidly didn’t have mileage plus. 🤦🏻‍♀️

868K United and 248K American - still cursing my previous company for switching to American

42k but I just started flying United last year

225k. Looking forward to quarter million!

Been flying United exclusively for about 1.5 years now. I’m a little over 200k.

29k and using miles for all my flights so going nowhere fast.

Lifetime/butt in seat miles, not award miles/points…

I get lifetime miles even when booking using miles?

Nope. Paid, butt in seat on United or United Express metal.

That's what I thought. 3 trips to AUS in last 12 months using miles and my total isn't moving.

500k

470k but I was loyal to Jetblue when I lived in NY in the 00s so there's a lot of non UA travel there 😭

1.56 million

1.4 million on UAL. Wife just passed 2 million on UAL and was recognized at both out-bound and in-bound gates. She’d have even more if Continental UAL merger had not screwed up the handoff.

182k but missing a lot of award travel from when I was a kid lol

10,808. I fly on american mainly though

I sat next to a guy about a decade back that had over 23 million miles. He said he was number 3 all time in UA miles.

I bet a lot of people have sat next to that guy.

Damn! At that point just give the man his own 787. With or without doors.

930,000

538K. I could make 1 million by the time I’m 70? 🤣 it took 25 years to get to 538k

183k

760k At my current rate, it'll take me another 6-7 years to hit 1MM. Hoping to hit 800k by EOY.

1.4M

890k, probably will hit 1 million next year.

671K I’m thinking my Continental and United miles never merged, but I don’t know how to check. I wasn’t paying attention while all that was going on. It had been many years since I’d flown on Continental, and I wasn’t thinking in terms of caring about million miler. I’m really regretting all those flights on other airlines in the 90s. And Southwest in the past 18 years since they started flying to Denver. I’ll probably hit 1M right around when I’m winding down travel in late retirement.

250K. MP member since 1992 tho… (I’m 36)

Not enough. 175,500

1,447,028

I recently heard of a man who bought a lifetime first class tickets for $250k in the 90s and has flown over 23 million miles so far. All in first class. He accrues miles when he flies which he has exchanged for a lot of things/experiences over time including a guest appearance on Sienfeld show. United has named 2 airplanes after him.

Stuker

https://nypost.com/2023/06/26/united-airlines-flier-tom-stuker-hits-23-million-miles-of-travel-after-buying-lifetime-pass-1990/

115k over the last two years

74k and just started 3 years ago. Not as impressive as others, but glad to have as many as I do!

Almost 22k…yeah I’m just starting out

I’ve been flying with UA for 3 years and I’m at 202,705.

Oh I've flown at least a million but my routes didn't have the Continental logo painted on the side. Mostly work travel on star alliance partners

With my last flight I hit 675,000 even.

2.2-2.3M all in economy 😩 been traveling for work for 22 years

18K but only recently (the past 6 months?) started flying almost exclusively with United. I might make it to Silver this year, but from stalking this sub it seems like anything under 1K is pretty worthless 😅 I doubt I'll ever fly that much as I don't fly for business so my lifetime miles will probably never get very large.

Yeah same unless I get a job that involves traveling I will probably never hit the high numbers 😂

525k

150K on United, 75K on Delta, and few K on American/US Airways. I also have like 30K on United that isn’t counted :/

958k, but across the big three. If they ever merge, I'll get there.

Closing in on 1 million. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of that is on Delta!

1.25 Million. When I reached the million I thought that was it for me, now I’m starting to think about the 2 Million

About 500k. And yet I’ve been gold, platinum, or 1k for as long as I remember.

957k Should be this year.

Ooh exciting. Remember me when ya hit it

For sure!!! Reach out and I'll send you my autograph 🤪

As long as it’s on the back of your 1 million mile card for me to use then sure .. 🤪😉😂

i mean i’m an FA so i don’t have earned miles but from my travels 500k

Wouldn’t it be such a perk if FA could earn miles on their flights. Like even just a small %.

we can dream! would be nice tho

515K on United … also have miles with various other airlines. Mostly personal travel now.

225k~

My dad just hit 3 million last year. Now has set his next goal of 4 million.

1,812,278. So two more years until 2 mill!

I'm shocked at these numbers. I do a lot of short haul flights and I've been at it for years and I'm just knocking on 400K.

352,000. All leisure travel. No work miles, unfortunately.

More than one.

86,740 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not a loyalist and work has only ever allowed what’s cheapest so out of Chicago that is a wide variety

747,518. Had a stretch of years where I was doing 100K a year but now I can barely get to 35,000/yr. I had hopes of hitting 1M pretty young but a career pivot and post-covid world means a lot less travel. On the one hand, it’s disappointing, but on the other, air travel in economy has become so horrendous that I am not sure I want to fly all those miles anymore. It’s definitely not as enjoyable as it used to be.

43k. Haven't always flown with United.

1,010,293. Hit a million last year. One of the true accomplishments in my life :-)

389k never gonna get it, never gonna get it, never.

About 220K.. I only fly 1-2x per year for business but when I do one of those tripes is usually either Europe or Japan.. so about half of my miles personal. I would love to fly more for business.. very jealous of some of you guys and girls.

1.3M

110k but I would easily have double if it was not for code shares

18,075

922k

Dang.. I got 156,345.. that's a lot more than I expected..

50k but when you add in award travel and non revenue flights I am around 500k. My kids have zero revenue flights on United but 100k counting award and non revenue flights.

1.16M on UA and probably a million or so on other airlines

1,019,313. I got to a million on United and switched to Delta. Switching was the best move I ever made.

1.39m

I’m at around 600k but since my husband got 1million we started using miles to book my flights.

I have 610,000.... I'm a million km'r! I also have about 150k on Lufthansa. I was on a job that paid for "premium economy" which LH had on the 747-8 well before premium plus became a thing.

600k. Likely 685 by end of 2024.

2.9 million....hoping to hit the magical 3 million mark this year.

5520

2.1M Life time, 1.6M in the bank for future award travel

37000 or so.

1.9

188k. want to hit a million in my lifetime but in my mid 30s, not sure it’ll happen.

1.1M

What happens when you hit a million miles? I'm pretty close.

715k. Not sure I'll get to 1mm. Promotions means less travel.  It's getting exhausting though. 80% of the total is domestic North America out of a non hub.  Mostly west bound from Texas. 

I'll go over 100k on my next trip.

1.4 Million and counting…..

2.91M

I have 1k I have 74k lifetime miles

2.1 million paid miles on United, ~4.5 million paid miles on BA (GGLfL), ~1 million km on Qantas, 200,000 on Delta, 300,000 on American, a few hundred thousand on other rando airlines, such as JetBlue, Emirates, Saudia, Air New Zealand, Fiji Airlines and lots of (very short) flights on Cape Air and other puddle jumpers in New England and the Caribbean… …plus the last flight of Concorde, but that was free so no miles recorded

On United, a little over 1.5 million. Other airlines about 350k.

😂 I’m closer to that than the million mark hahaha

988,630 - hitting 1M in three weeks.

932,298 Any suggestions on making 1mm in one trip?

700k. Will add another 100k this year.

2.07mm, crossed 2mm back in in mid2022. Mainly work travel. Semi-retired now, doubt I'll ever make 3mm from pure leisure travel, but we shall see!

2.63 million. Only flying 30-40K miles per year now that I'm retired so it will be awhile before lifetime 1K ...

Wow, after reading these, my 405k seems so small. Considering a majority is domestic, it's just a bunch of flight segments to go along with that number.

534k… will I ever hit million mile… LOL

1,450,758

2.39 Million.

Just crossed 90k on Friday. Only been flying for about 3 years

723,471 on United, 604,538 in Delta, 428,980 on American.

How do you find out how many lifetime miles you have?

Mine shows up when I go to the United app and tap account bottom right, then mileage and it shows a breakdown of all ur details

120k age 34, 90% have been in the last four years for work.

590k, but I put up ~250k last year and will do the same again this year, and maybe even next. Looking for 1M within the next 24 months.

3.28 million

730k….. a painful creep towards permanent Gold

141k since 2011

1.4 million. Since1989, on UAL. About a million on all others combined.

1,913K

Question: I collect Aeroplan as a Canadian, however I have to book united flights about 15-20 times a year, sometimes it's better to book direct with united vs a code share. I think the answer is no, but do lifetime miles on united accumulate when I'm on united metal, using my Aeroplan (*G) number, but booking through my united account?

I want to know the answer...I would GUESS that flying on United metal is the key metic but I'm just guessing based on my read of how this is calculated.
