Hello, forum gurus!

A. They gave her special treatment because this flight marked the point she flew 4 million miles with the same airline.

1. Is A natural to native speaker's eyes?

2. If so, what is omitted right after the point?

3. In the context, no other airline is mentioned, only that she flew with the airline for a long time.
Then, is same a good usage?
I feel it should be with the airline, dropping same.

Some help, even minimal, would be a great help for me and will be deeply appreciated.
 
  • You should understand it as:
    They gave her special treatment because this flight marked the point [in her career?] at which she had flown 4 million miles with the same airline.

    In other words, that flight was a milestone for her.

    I see. I see.
    This helps!
    Thank you so much, lingobingo!

    It's not very natural to me. Is there any reason to include "the point"? I'd probably just say ... this flight marked 4 million miles with the airline. Or perhaps "... on this flight she had reached 4 million miles with the airline".

    I agree.

    I agree.

    This definitely helps!
    Thank you so much, CaptainZero!
