Here are some highlights from the awards:

Mega Miler: ACHIEVED 11 MILLION MILER™ STATUS, SKYMILES® MEMBER SINCE 1981
Taking more than 216 flights last year, Jere travels almost daily for business. He and his wife love exploring the world—most memorably, Italy’s Amalfi Coast, and most recently, Slovenia and Croatia.

Top Miler: FLEW A DISTANCE OF 473,267 MILES IN A SINGLE YEAR
Flying 473,267 miles led to Julian earning a total of one million miles in 2018 (thanks to mileage bonuses he earned as a Diamond Medallion Member). A pilot and mathematician, he loves spending time in Hawaii. In fact, it’s such a frequent destination for Julian, the team at the Honolulu Delta Sky Club® threw him a birthday celebration.
