And I've found that the act of splitting the PNR totally screws up upgrades and upgrade requests. On one trip, after the split, we ended up with nothing supporting two segments, and one segment had three upgrades devoted to it.
So, perhaps the dumbest of dumb questions, how do you know if two reservations are on the same PNR, or different? Presumably multiple passengers with the same confirmation number are on the same PNR. Yet I'd thought I'd heard that PNRs could be joined, but doing that would change someone's confirmation number? Guess I should do a search on PNR here and find out. You'd think I'd know more after all these years.
