Wives and Traveling/Mile Addictions
« on: June 21, 2010, 03:08:26 PM »
What are your experiences with wives and traveling?
Everyone in their right mind would say they love to travel but push comes to shove not everyone is down for it
Does anyones wives get their mileage addictions?


p.s. I'm not married just wondering what'll happen when i will one day

My wife won't let me get over my addiction.
After taking her in First class on 4 long-haul journeys in the past 17 months I'm not sure she will fly in coach anymore.  :D

And yes, she "got it" as soon as we took out first first class trip and she exclaimed that now she understands why I love to fly so much!
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

My wife appreciates that I am into the whole mileage game but doesnt want to have to understand it! As long as she gets to see the world -mainly the beaches :) -and can just nod her head when I try to explain how we are doing it all for free- as if she understands... she is happy ;D

To DealPrincess: setup your preferences; such as certain plats or gold he needs to have, chairmans club (the latter reduces the options considerably), and so on...

I guess you better start looking on the Shidduch thread then! If you tell a shadchan you want a guy who loves earning miles and travelling they will think you are crazy. Here you have a much better chance of finding someone for you!

Is that also top-tier status?

I guess so. I will have to take an accountant soon to take care of them  ;)

You have no idea how often my DD status, bumped me off flights, or had airlines employees sending me personalized letters about my accounts being flagged.
Those little touches make you really feel special.
