I am a plat and have two golds on my pnr for an upcoming trip
Things have changed since the merger...
The way it works now, is that if you have ONE other person in your record (elite or non-elite), they will be upgraded at window of the highest ranking elite in the reservation if space is available. If you have more than two people, all elites, upgrades will start clearing based on the
lowest elite in the reservation. If you have more than two people, at at least one is not elite, you will not clear for CPUs in advance -- you must split your PNRs for CPU to process. If you don't split beforehand (and I don't know why you wouldn't)...You'll automatically be split at check-in if you want to go for the battlefield upgrade.
Pre-merger, I used to book separate PNRs all the time. Now, it's a benefit for me to have the Mrs. on my reservation with me (she is a Gold) because she is effectively treated as a 1K for CPU purposes. But, if there is anyone else traveling with us they go on their own reservation.
In your example, you should split one Gold off of your PNR.
