Brian T. Coleman

The Journey is the Reward started out to be a show about obtaining 3 Million Mile status with United Airlines in less than 18 months. It was about the journey in achieving these miles and United 1K status for life. However, now that Brian has achieved the 3 Million Mile goal, in 13 months, the show has morphed a bit into a travel show. Sure, he is still documenting his quest for 4 Million Miles and lifetime Global Services status but he and Micah cover so much more. So come travel the world with

On episode 26, Micah and I host our 3rd Windows and Aisles Episodes... formerly known as Bits and Pieces.

We address a question from Listener Uli regarding tips and tricks around the airport. I also talk about Mom again. I even quoted a poem I wrote to her when I was 5 years old.

Micah and I address the types of mask we wear to help keep everyone safe. On the show, we talk about my two hour delay out of SFO... because a passenger decided to
