About this listen

Divyam Rastogi - IIT Delhi, Wharton, Bain, and now Chief of Staff at Google, is also a miles millionaire. In late 2024, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) announced a wild promotion: fly 15 out of 17 SkyTeam airlines before December 31st, and they'd give you 1 million EuroBonus points. Only 900 people in the world completed it. Divyam did it in a record 9 days.

In this episode, Divyam walks us through his entire route - from Vancouver to Seoul and back - how he planned it on Google Flights and Google Sheets, the flight he missed in Paris, running through Jakarta airport, getting questioned by Chinese immigration for entering and exiting the country twice in 24 hours, and why he thinks his 1 million SAS miles could be worth $20,000 if they convert to Flying Blue.
