A Man Flew More Than 1,000 Times in a Very Strange Way

Mr. Jan Mul, a Dutchman who was born in 1932, spent more than 20 years of his life flying to a different European city every single Wednesday! As a result, the man had more than 1,000 flights under his belt! And he bought airplane tickets, not to get to some destination, but just for the sake of flying!

Traveling by plane was his main hobby and his biggest passion. The day before the flight, the flight itself, and the day after were his favorite days of the week. On the first day, he was preparing for his journey. The day of the flight was the most exciting for him. And the day after the trip, he shared his impressions and the tiniest details of his adventure with his nearest and dearest 😊.

SUMMARY:
- Much to his disappointment, Mr. Mul didn't succeed in infecting his wife with his love for air travel.
- One of the most curious things about Mr. Mul was that the man didn't care where he went! He didn't have any favorite destination or place where he needed to be.
- His main stunt was never leaving the airports he arrived in! Mr. Mul would fly to Paris, Munich, or Oslo in the morning, step out of the plane, spend several hours at the airport, walking around and looking at things, and then fly back home.
- Sadly, some time ago, 82-year-old Mr. Mul passed away, just a couple of days after his last flight to Stockholm.
- The airline company Mr. Mul always used decided to commemorate the memory of their most loyal passenger. To do so, they invited Mr. Mul's wife and his grandson Tom on a surprise flight to Stockholm.
- However unbelievable it may sound, Mr. Mul wasn't the only person who loved flying more than anything else in this world. How about a man who clocked a whopping 38 million air miles?
- Jacques Vroom took a loan to buy an unlimited lifetime First Class pass for himself and one companion. It cost him about $400,000 at that time, which would be more than $870,000 nowadays!
- The air traveler used to fly about four times a week, and, just like with Jan Mul, it was mostly the flying that made him excited.
- Rumor has it that once, he flew his 12-year-old daughter from Dallas to London to visit some cosmetic store.
- He used his air miles to fly AIDS patients around the globe who didn't have money to travel and see the world.
- Unfortunately, several years ago, the airline company calculated that Mr. Vroom and other people with unlimited passes costed it more than $1 million a year each, and they grounded him.

This is one of the most heartwarming stories ever, especially from someone who can relate to all his loves for flying, but cannot fly very often. 😁

This hit very close to home. My grandfather loves to travel but by car just as much as me. We would often have road trips every weekend. He passed away a couple years ago and road trips won't be the same without him and his stories.

U ever look at a comment and think man I wish I wrote that

[timothywilliams]

I used to do those trips when I was younger and had the money. Such wonderful memories! I am happy to know I was not the only one who just loved to fly, not caring about the destination!

Seems like Mr. Vroom had a pretty good chance of successfully suing the airline if they breached a contract without compensation.

There are youtube channels with Aviation enthusiasts that fly just for the sake of trying all the different airlines and aircraft types. Most of them do leave the airports they arrive at, but usually only for a day or two. I love watching these channels as I can fly vicariously by watching them!

[grwhte]

Wow. I thought this was gonna be a riddle video.

[jamesbautista]

Throughout the entire video I was thinking, “With all the money he spent on those flights, why didn’t he just go learn to fly and apply as a pilot?”

Though there is so much wickedness in this world, you Bright Side, highlight all the more glory and the Bright Side of Life. And there is so much good and beauty in the world 😊😊😊

[leschase]

Once id a trip from London Gatwick to Iceland to seethe Northern Lights on a day trip, flying out am and returning evening, and stayed in the airport the whole time bar taking a walk outside for a short while. A real enjoyable return flight, and actually did see the Northern Lights over the Northern Atlantic. Cabin crew switched cabin lights off for passengers to see lights better.

My favourite part of the plane is the flying because I can fly from the UK to Canada

[JusBananaMilk]

I love trains and I keep taking them without leaving the stations and my family and friends says that I am weird.
