Remember the guy who bought 12,150 cups of Healthy Choice chocolate pudding to get frequent flyer miles? This wasn't just a subplot in Punch-Drunk Love it was true. Well, Marc Tacchi just did something similar.
He bought an Air Canada North America Unlimited Pass for $7,000 (Canadian) which allowed him unlimited travel within the continent between October 1 and November 30. He spent 56 of 61 days in the air and racked up over 1,000,000 mileage points. For that he gets about $70,000 (Canadian) in free tickets.
He of course blogged his experiences. You can read about the the good meals (his beloved pot roast and the fabulous fruit plate) and the bad (breakfast omelets, asian vegetarian and the childs meal) as well as the A321 seats which he repeatedly describes as "medieval torture devices". What was the first inflight movie he saw? Crash, which he (like me) loved. Though I'm surprised they showed it on a plane with that title (even though it has nothing to do with planes).
