The Journey Is The Reward (dot) ORGAuthor: 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 Brian as he attempts to reach yet another milestone and talkes with travel subject matter experts.

Episode 131
Monday, 13 April, 2026
Welcome to episode 131 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Micah and Brian continue the epic storytelling of Brian’s trip to Singapore. You might be wondering, "Will it ever end???" but the journey is progressing.Before the guys reach the main event, they dive into some essential listener feedback. Listener Peter shares some fantastic tips and tricks regarding Kosher meals—information so good that Brian plans to implement these strategies the next time he’s at 30,000 feet. Then, listener Lu checks in to get the guys' thoughts on the recent changes to the United MileagePlus program. It seems the "earning and burning" game is shifting, with a United credit card becoming more of a requirement than a suggestion to get the best rates.We also have a couple of important community updates. First, we get a cousin Mitchell update from Thailand; it is truly incredible to hear about the level of planning required to navigate a route back home to Florida during a time of conflict. Closer to our hearts in Zambia, we have an update on Baby Chipego, our newest listener. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our audience, Brian was able to make an additional $100 contribution to support Connie and her new arrival.For the main event, Micah has Brian break down his post-trade show adventures and gives us a detailed look into the public days of the Singapore Airshow. Brian managed to capture some great recordings with Grant and Nigel, and even sat down for a departure day chat with listener Matt.The guys actually ran out of flight time before they could finish the trip back to the States, so you'll have to tune in next time to hear the final leg of the journey home!Join us for a Meetup!
