I married a FlyerTalker and yes, ours was a mixed household (I was a United 1K when I met her and she was an American Gold). We were bicoastal for our first year and took turns flying to see each other and meeting in various cities for dates (flying our respective carriers). Ironically, we're mainly a SkyTeam household now that we are married. The great thing about being married to a FlyerTalker is you never have to explain or justify the need for mileage and mattress runs or choosing flights based on equipment and chances for upgrades.

Here's to wishing you and your wife an expedient path to a million miles!

My partner played the field, buying the cheapest available fares. Then I used my DL plat benefits to gift her Silver status. She somehow cleared the upgrade on her first flight with status. I may have created a monster.

I have enjoyed some very tender kisses on my wife's return from trips where she has unexpectedly turned left rather than right, courtesy of*G and an upgrade voucher.
