Up in the Air Fantasies: What Does 10 Million Miles Get You?

Solovy and Dunkleberger say that some things in the movie are accurate. While there is no such thing as the graphite card,
the Concierge Key card that the film's other veteran flyer, Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), finds in Ryan Bingham's wallet actually does exist. In the film, Goran is impressed in a way that only aficianados can be: "I wasn't sure these actually existed," she says. American Airlines officials, as secretive as Freemasons in a Dan Brown novel, claim not to know much about it, except that one becomes a member by invitation only — because the airline has noticed your record of extensive travel, celebrity or some unquantifiable factor.
Dunkleberger is a member, but it is a status that even his close co-workers are unaware of. Solovy clams up after mentioning that he holds one of these cards. "It's very valuable. It's black," he says. "It gets you priority on the standby list and gives you upgrades if you need them." But then silence. Next topic please.
