Randy may want to chime in, but in the meantime, you can check out this
mileage converter. Yes you can transfer mileage to your spouse, but at a
GREAT loss of miles!

Don't forget, you can also book an award ticket in anyone's name!

So if you have (say) 25,000 miles on UA, you can book an award ticket in her name!
As far as your NW miles, you (as stated above) could transfer them to DL, but you could get an award on DL using your NW miles too!
