a million- "a" indicates one--you are actually saying that he has flown one million miles |

If you want to say that he has flown more than just one million miles, you can say: he has flown millions of miles. (Your second sentence is not correct.)

ladybird is utterly right!
we say hundreds of ....
millions of .........
etc
however, if the intention is to say ONE million , then a million miles is correct!
hope this is helpful!
