Yes, since they turned two - I just use my email account for their FF accounts. Hasn't been a problem. We have only flown United since they were born.

I didn't know you can pool for SW! Is there any charge?


See post 8:06. Its a little different than JB, but you can transfer miles.

We have all of our SW accounts hooked to one email..

Yes, my kids have Southwest rapid rewards accounts. Once they have 2,000 miles, you can transfer them to another family member. Definitely worth it.

Yes, JetBlue also has family pooling. It adds up.

Just create dummy gmail addresses for them. I always collect for the kids. Even if I don't get a free flight I'm usually able to get something out of them, like magazine subscriptions or some other discounts.

Some airlines, like British Airways, have family plans where you can share miles amongst people.
