Canadian man racks up 1 Million FF points
Taking extreme advantage of Air Canada’s North America Unlimited Pass – a $C7000 ($8090) ticket that allowed passengers limitless travel within the continent between October 1 and November 30, Canadian man Marc Tacchi has reached his goal of accumulating 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometres) of frequent flyer credits .
Writing on his blog site, he claimed that he had racked up 1,003,625 mileage points and spent 56 of the past 61 days in an aircraft.
“I myself need to get to bed in a prone position for some serious rest,” he wrote.
A typical day would start with a 10am flight to Victoria, British Columbia, about 70 kilometres from Vancouver. He would fly back and fourth between the two cities about six times and then catch an overnight flight 4300 kilometres to Toronto, where he would immediately board a return flight.
He now has the equivalent of about 10 round-trip business-class flights from Canada to Australia, which he has estimated would normally cost about $C70,000. He is planning a series of holidays with his family in Asia.
Believe it or not, when not doing this, his job? A contract pilot !
This guy has some serious issues.
