21 Million Frequent Flyer Miles Up For Grabs in Las Vegas Poker Tournament

BoardingArea.com's LiveFlyer Staff Will Be Blogging Live From The Event As One Person Claims The Largest Mileage Prize In Frequent Flyer History

Colorado Springs, Colo. (PRWEB) August 6, 2008 -- In what will be a record-setting event, one lucky poker player will win a Grand Prize of 21,000,000 frequent flyer miles this weekend as part of the Continental OnePass Poker Tournament (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=813492).

The 21 million-mile Grand Prize represents the largest frequent flyer mileage prize ever awarded in the 27 year history of frequent flyer programs. Continental is hosting the tournament and offering the enormous prize in celebration of the OnePass program's 21st anniversary.

On BoardingArea.com, a special "LiveFlyer" blog (http://www.boardingarea.com/blogs/liveflyer_onepass_poker) has been created to report on the event as it happens.

A recent post on the BoardingArea blog outlines some of the items a 21 million-mile prize could be redeemed for, including:

• A 35,000 year subscription to Conde Nast magazine

• 840 domestic coach class tickets at the current 25,000-mile SaverPass level

• 280 first class tickets to Hawaii

• 95 Around-the-World tickets in first class

Or, if the winner is feeling especially generous,

"...using 11,825,000 miles (they could do this trip twice!) would get you an entire 777-200 Continental airplane to fly the friends and family to Hawaii and back, 48 of them in BusinessFirst (first class) and 235 more in coach."
