Monday, October 10, 2005 DailyTimes A Canadian man plans to fly all over North America, back and forth, trying to rack up one million frequent flyer points in 60 days, local media reported. Marc Tacchi said he will travel with Air Canada to more than 100 destinations, over and over, to accumulate 70,000 dollars ($60,000) worth of air miles or about 10 executive class return flights from Canada to Australia by the end of November. And, he will do it on an unlimited two-month pass that cost him only 7,000 dollars ($6,000) “I was in Miami on Monday, I think,” Tacchi told a reporter Thursday during a brief layover at Vancouver International Airport. He will make several short trips during the day and sleep on transcontinental flights at night. Tacchi said his schedule will allow him to sleep three nights per week in his own bed and still go to work at another airline to fly a 767 cargo jet to Europe once a week. Air Canada claimed mid-September to be the first airline ever to sell subscriptions to unlimited flights with this special offer. afp |
