IDK about that. I was flying to Buenos Aires a while back and a smoking hot lady in a very low cut shirt was sitting next to me. She dozed off and ended up leaning over on my shoulder. I'd never been happy about turbulence before this incidence. Jiggle jiggle.

Your constant need to flex on a Louisiana based anonymous message board reeks of insecurity.

If you actually had high level airline status your wife would at least have TSA Precheck

You are a failure

When traveling on a trip with the wife, do you leave her for upgrades?

I don’t have a wife but if I did I’d hope she’d be a lot skinnier than my fat arse so she’d fit much more comfortably in cheap seats than I do.

I'm in a similar situation. I hit Delta Million Mile status two or three years ago because of work, but my wife has nothing. Work paid for my Global Entry fee.

We just went ahead and paid for her Global Entry and I give her my upgrades because I'm not a dick.

Acting like TSA pre-check is anything special makes you a retard.

Pay for her to have TSA precheck (what is it, $80?) and then pay for 1 1st class ticket for her if you get a free upgrade. This isn't hard. You're essentially telling her that she isn't good enough for 1st class.

The fact that he is asking this makes him a poor husband. Prayers for his wife.

Sometimes I think you are completely full of shite. I’m a 1K on United and I’m assuming your “high status” is also 1K. You know you can use your PlusPoints to upgrade her also? And when you are 1K your pluspoints start at 280 and accumulate extremely fast if you fly a lot. Are you booking her separate or something? And if so WTF.

And to your question, NO…I would never take the upgrade and leave my wife in coach. But honestly with 1k you get a box and a drink in economy + economy plus at booking so I always snatch the bulkhead and it’s almost as good as first class, b/c the food sucks anyways. Unless they are lay flat seats in Polaris on a long haul flight, it’s not much of an “upgrade” anyway.

And if you are global services they are likely upgrading you both……but I’m sure you aren’t

The most unbelievable part of your made up thread is you having a wife to begin with.

We take turns it if I get an upgrade.

Stupid for us both to sit back there if one can be in business/first.

I have a hard time believing anyone is stupid enough not to sign their wives up for Precheck if they have it themselves.

Most airports have become pretty efficient when it comes to security that you really don’t save much time going through pre-check. Except for New Orleans of course. That place is a disaster.

My wife travels for work and I don’t but it’s not that hard to upgrade to tsa pre or clear. We have both.

Basically every major travel credit card includes Global Entry, which includes Precheck, as a free benefit. Someone who travels like Mr. Jetset up there claims to would have GE for both of them
