Take Seth Miller, an aerophile who for some baffling reason enjoys nothing more than sitting on planes and lounging in airports. From 10 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11, to 10 a.m. the following Monday, he will fly from New York to Ponce, Puerto Rico, back to New York to Las Vegas to Long Beach, Calif., to Portland, Ore., back to Long Beach to Chicago to New York to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and back...
