Mrs. Bubba and I are going to enjoy an international flight. For years I have paid for our flights with my miles so she has now accumulated a number of miles. If she uses her miles for her flight we will be on a separate record locator. If we are on 2 record locators how can I use my status to get us preferred seating?

I guess one thought was for her to get my ticket and vice versa. The platinum desk wasn't much help on this other than to pay for the miles a second time ( ie gift miles).

Thanks for any help!
