My now-husband and I have both been elite on AA ever since we started dating in 2003. That year, I qualified for GLD on personal travel and he made PLT on business travel. In 2004, he hit PLT again, but thanks to a new high-travel job (and an FT-inspired MR or two), I moved all the way up to EXP. In 2005, we both made EXP. I greatly appreciate not having to give him my stickers when we travel together anymore

We mostly travel separately for our different jobs, but every now and then, we manage to swing a rendezvous in ORD or DFW and fly home together. And, of course, we tend to vacation in style... AAward F seats home from our honeymoon NRT-SJC, a trip to Italy last month in J thanks to my eVIPs, etc.

Travel runs in my family, as my mom is a longtime DL Platinum and my dad has held bottom-tier elite status on both DL and US over the years. Since they (and my in laws) live back east and we're in California, we'll see if we can swing three generations of elite status once we have kids

I was wondering how many other multi-elite households are out there? Do you become elite together, or do you rack up the miles separately? Does anyone have a significant other who is elite on an airline other than AA?

EXP/PLT here. This year we're basically accumulating together (except for my business trips) and should both be EXP by year's end.

Cheers.

PLAT / PLAT here and starting August 27th, 2006 it will be EXP / EXP

Self EXP, wife PLT, two children both PLT (6 & 3)

My husband is a CO plat (both business and personal travel); I am a CO gold (personal travel -- my older son goes to college in CA and I live in NJ) and my younger son (15) is a CO silver (he's a pro rockclimber and travels to climb and compete).

PLT/PLT here. Husband will be EXP soon. Both sons GLD.

We're both 1MM, so two gold-for-life's here.

Me (EXP -1.9 MM), TH (PLT)- 1 MM

both are MVP golds as well.

EXP/EXP, probably 70 to 80% together, since it's all leisure.

Vasantn...any insight here?
You stepped up to the plate for the "# of EXP's on a flight" question.

Me=EXP, Her=PLT

70K each together on vacation + 35K for me on business & 1 MR.

06 looks tough, only 45K YTD and 1 business trip. Probably both PLT in 07.

I am exp we fly with our kids a lot, so in order to get us all upgraded my wife needed status. They gave her plat for nothing just because of my status. It was one of the nicest things AA has done for us.

I'm EXP and Mrs. AK333 is PLT. She might be dropping to GLD though as she isn't travelling for business as much this year as last. Our personal travel is together, but we have very different business travel patterns.
