Special treatment for being newlyweds?

Jersey, on March 6, 2016 at 2:35 PM Posted in Honeymoon 0 55

I got to hang out with my wonderful bridesmaids this weekend. And they were saying that when I go on my honeymoon, I need to show that we are newlyweds because we'll get special treatment.

I call BS on this. FH and I travel a lot and haven't seen any special treatment for newlyweds on planes.

So for my married ladies, did you get anything special from your airline for being a newlywed?

    Hahaha!! One of my bridesmaids said her sister got free drinks because the flight attendants noticed her bride luggage tag. A huge part of me thinks it's BS.

    But.... Free drinks?!

    Never hurts to ask. IMO you already have "no" by not asking so the worst you can get is what you already have.

    No shame. We are wearing mr and Mrs shirts to the airport. We love free drinks. Soak it in, it's once in a lifetime. Even if you don't get free stuff, looking that cheesy is just hilarious.

    There was a thread a while back about "honeymoon shirts" and people were saying they got free stuff! I'm totally doing it, plus you only get to be silly about it once!

    My sister eloped and decided to go to dinner in their wedding attire. That got them a few free meals and dessert. It's a little more extreme than Mr and Mrs shirts though Smiley winking

    We didn't get special treatment. We got a few congratulations! But we weren't trying to flaunt it or use it for an advantage.

    Probably in the 80s or 90s you got upgraded but the way the airline industry is now, no way. But as Celia mentioned, this would be the one time it would benefit you to show a pink slip.

    @Lynn, I thought the same thing and when I saw your comment, totally started to laugh.

    Also Lynn, I love friends and HAD to go rewatch that clip! LOL!

    Once we get on our honeymoon, we don't want to be noticed at all and just want our privacy. But flying sucks, I would gladly accept anything that would make it even slightly better!

    Yeah, my mom told me that she and my dad got upgraded to first class for telling the airline they were newlyweds, and they got tons of perks and free drinks, food, spa treatments on their cruise. that was 25 years ago, i dont think you would get as much now, maybe some congratulations like a lot of people are saying
