Mark On AirTran Gets His Own Plane After 30 Days Of Flying

In the beginning of June, we asked if you'd ever spend thirty days straight flying around on the same airlines, like comedian Mark Malkoff was doing with AirTran.

Well on June 30, Mark finally (shakily) stepped onto solid ground, and along with accepting the Guinness World Record for most flights within 30 days—he did 135—he was welcomed with his very own plane. Well, it's actually just some special livery applied to an Airtran Boeing 717, and despite the cornyness, we kind of wish that every WiFi-equipped plane sported a logo as big as this one.

So does Mark miss his days in the sky? According to his @mmalkoff Twitter account, he's going through SkyMall withdrawal and looking forward to a little NYC rest and relaxation:

Staycation this week. Possibly the Bronx Zoo, Tea and Simpathy, and the Russian Tea Room (never been). Can you tell I like animals & tea?

We understand man, but we would throw a few beers in there and maybe a visit to a Korean spa to have the airline dirt scraped from our skin. So knowing that you'd get you face on an airplane and a Guiness World Record, we ask the question again: Would you live aboard AirTran flights for one month?
