I was extraordinarily fortunate to have been in Chicago yesterday and received an invitation to attend Tom Stuker’s celebration at the C-concourse Red Carpet Club commemorating his 10 millionth mile flown on United Airlines. I met so many wonderful people, including Randy Petersen, BoardingArea’s founder and respected frequent flyer program guru, Jeff Smisek, United’s CEO, and a slew of other bloggers, industry executives, Flyertalkers, and one long-time reader of Frequently Flying.
I have several videos to post tomorrow with speeches by United executives, and of course the man of the hour Tom. For now, here’s a photo summary of the event.
Seeing the photos really makes me sad that I missed the event! I’m sure it was a blast. I’m also pleased to see that UA kept the tulip on two of the gifts that they handed Tom! (GS card & plaque @ LAX)
