Man Flies Over 23 Million Miles Using $290K Lifetime Pass

This airline passenger is the world's most widely traveled flyer. I'm at 23,000,600. You heard right. Tom Stuker has flown almost 24 million miles. In 1990, Stuker invested $290,000 in a lifetime pass with United, and holy moly, has he used it. I've flown on 12,000-plus flights. 69-year-old Stuker is a car dealership consultant who travels the world on business. So here are some travel tips from the guy who knows. First, get the app for the airline you're flying with. They give you so much information. If you're at home and the flight's delayed two hours, they'll text you at home and say, "Don't come to the airport early." Stuker also says never check a bag. And couples flying together should try this. If I'm flying in coach, I'm gonna book the window and the aisle and leave the middle seat open. That's the last thing that people will pick. So you're more and more likely to have that extra seat empty. Good advice in these tough travel times. (impactful music)
