Ever wonder what the biggest spenders, mileage-wise, do with their million-mile stashes?

Here’s one option: a trip to Ferrari’s headquarters and factory in Maranello, Italy.

That’s one high-end award currently up for bid on United’s MileagePlus award-auction site.

Here’s what the winning bidder will get:

Two roundtrip business-class tickets to Milan
Four nights’ hotel accommodations in Italy (two in Milan, two in Maranello)
Rental car
Guided tours of the Ferrari and Maserati headquarters
Driving simulator experience
Visit to the Ferrari Museum
Dinner for two at Cavallino Restaurant

There are now 23 MileagePlus members bidding on the trip, with a current high bid of 605,000 miles. But with almost nine days remaining in the auction, it’s a safe bet that the most serious bidders will wait until nearer to the end and bid the price up closer to a million miles.

That’s a lot of tickets. And no, the prize does not include a Ferrari.

The auction ends on January 8, 2014.
