To reach 75K I'll have to to take two extra short trips from Maui to Portland. It's great to get back since I have friends/family but it pisses off the wife here so when I factor in the potential divorce? Well, like I said, I'm torn Has anyone ever traded a marriage for airline status?
I take my wife with me on mileage runs....its date night in the sky and earns her the same elite status so it's a relatively easy sell.
