Thomas S. Miles, 86
Osterville - ThomasS.Miles,
86, died Dec. 14, 2006.
Hewasthe husband of Eliza-
beth "Libby" (Hanson) Miles
for 64 years.
Born in Chicago, 111., he
graduated from Morgan Park
High School. Before entering
Carleton College,he worked as
an office boy in the executive
offices of American Airlines
and decided on a career in the
airline industry.
He left Carleton following
his freshman year to join the
Naval ROTC at Northwestern
University, where he became
met his bride-to-be on a blind
date.
ShortlyafterPearlHarbor,he
resignedfrom the Navyto enlist
in the Army Air Corps as an
aviation cadet. While awaiting
assignment,he gotmarried,not
knowing that on the following
day he would receive orders
to report for duty within 24
hours. While in training as a
multi-enginepilot inStockton,
Calif.,he was appointed editor
of the Class 42-K yearbook. It
was highly acclaimed for its
outstanding presentation of
aviation cadet life. After receiv-
ing his wings and commission
as a second lieutenant, he was
assigned to the West Coast
training command.
Following military service,
job opportunities in the air-
line, and related industries
took him and his family from
Evanston and Chicago, 111.,to
Memphis, Tenn.; Washington,
D.C. (Chevy Chase, Md.); New
York City (Westport, Conn.);
and Colorado Springs, Colo.,
where they enjoyed participa-
tion in civic, social and church
affairs,includingflower garden-
ing and golf.
In 1947, many years before
America introduced the first
computerized reservations
system, Mr. Miles recognized
the need for a quick reference
point-to-point airline guide to
facilitate and lower the cost
of making airline reservations
by airline personnel and travel
agents. An enterprising pub-
lisher brought his airline guide
tolife inthe early 1950s.In 1958,
he proposed the publication
of a pocket-sized guide for
frequent flyers. Fifteen years
later, the Official Airline Guide
published it.
In 1965,Mr.Milesinterrupted
his airline career to serve as
deputy executive director of
President Johnson's''Discover
America Program," created to
help ease the nation's balance
of payments' problem by en-
couraging Americans, and the
citizens of other lands,to travel
to and withinthe USA.
In 1976 he pioneered the
concept of permitting the air-
linesto offer deeply discounted
fares to passengers meeting
given conditions of travel ,
such as advance reservations
and ticketing and Saturday
night layovers. As the Civil
Aeronautics Board prohibited
such fares,he knewthe airlines
wouldhave to file for an exemp-
tion until the deregulation
on pricing became effective.
•American Airlines recognized
the meritsbehind hisproposal,
andwasthe first to obtainCAB
approval to publish such fares,
and that was the beginning of
Super Saver Fares, as they are
known today.
While servingAspen Airways
asamarketingconsultantfrom
1978-1980, Mr.Milesconceived
andlaunched the FlyFree Club,
which was the industry's first
awards program for frequent
flyers.
He enjoyed writing letters
to the editors of newspapers
on international, national and
local issues aswell as personal
letters to the president, mem-
bers of Congress and others. In
support of physician-assisted
suicide, he wrote Death on
Request, USA, a screenplay for
TV about the God-given gifts
of life, love and death.
He was a member of the
National AviationClub (Wash-
ington, D.C.), Wings Club (New
YorkCity) and OstervilleMen's
Club.
