In 1987, the American Jewish citizen Steve Worthstein bought a $ 250,000 ticket from the American Airlines, allowing him to travel first class on American Airlines for a lifetime and a $ 150,000 ticket with him. .
Steve booked this in more than 10,000 trips, and sometimes he traveled to eat a sandwich at a particular restaurant or to attend a game ..
Sometimes he traveled with displaced people to return them to their countries
Or if he is uncomfortable, the facility seat is reserved for someone who is not real and the place next to it is empty during the trip
And if he was bored he would book and not travel
His son attended all sporting events everywhere in the world.
He sometimes traveled to Canada in the morning to buy from Canada a meal for his wife that she loved for only $ 50
And attend and return before lunch
And he says to her
I went quickly to Canada and returned
In July 2004 he traveled to 18 countries.
And he was always saying:
I can go
Anywhere at any time
All that I have to do
I bring my clothes bag and head for the airport.
Until 2008 only
(About 21 years old):
- Steve had traveled 10,000 times.
- Traveled 10 million miles.
- Received 40 million flying points.
Travel 500 times to England
Travel 70 times to Australia - Traveled 120 times to Tokyo 🇯🇵
- US Airlines cost $ 21 million in losses.
It was the reaction of the company
She intended to stop his golden ticket in any way.
On December 13, 2008
He came to the airport to travel with his friend as usual
He was found by the security men at the airport
And inform him that his ticket has become invalid ..
This was the big shock to Steve ..
And because of which he returned to his home shocked and did not sleep for several days ..
But he was determined to raise a case on US Airways
His complaint was that America was the country of freedom, justice and democracy, and that American Airlines had destroyed his life, driving him away from his favorite hobby (travel).
And has already filed suit against the company
Because of the breach of promises and credibility, and his request to compensate the company for the state of grief caused by him,
Gain the cause,
And received compensation of $ 3 million
As well as a free re-ticket that is effective for life
