Washington: A man who claims to be the world’s ‘most frequent flyer’ is still flying to various destinations with the $290,000 Lifetime Pass he bought from United Airlines in 1990.
Now, even if there is no system to issue a ‘Lifetime Pass’, that individual can travel anywhere in the world on the ‘pass’ purchased by him in the ‘fast class’ seat.
69-year-old Tom Stuker, who bought the pass, said it was the best investment of his life. As of 2019, Tom is the first person to fly 3.2 crore kilometers on this ‘pass’.
He completed this journey in 373 flights. Had he not bought this ‘pass’, he would have had to spend around Rs 20 crores for taking so many flights over so many years.
In an interview with The Washington Post, he once said that the first “attendant” he meets when boarding a plane tells him that he has already seen him. I remember what you said, says Tom. You gave me good hospitality last time. So thank you once again for that. Hearing this, he gives Tom ‘VIP’ hospitality.
