Quick question. The Mrs. and I are traveling out of EWR. I'm plat, wife does not have status - we're on a split PNR for the EUA. Confirmed a sameday standby for her- but I'm on the waitlist.

When I get to EWR will the desk allow me both of our rollaboards in my name, to get the plat benefit? I think I read that if you're on SBY they check the luggage to the standby destination - can anyone confirm.

As you might imagine the idea of split flights has been not so well recieved.

thanks!
