If it's a companion upgrade-how could that be so many days in advance? I thought those were done at check-in. And I thought they were not done on trips to Hawaii. I remember that my husband and I had to buy BF seats b/c not even Plats get upgraded on those flights. Has that rule changed?

I would wager a guess that the 2 BF passengers would get 3 bags each and the 3 economy would have to pay for their bags unless the BF passengers checked their kids' luggage as their own. (Or do they allow economy to check at least 1 bag on the long flights?)

Honestly, since CO started charging for bags, I never know what's what. I just know that I rarely check bags, but when I do I have yet to pay for one. I'm a Plat and am almost always BF/1st, so I don't know if it's the Plat Elite status that allows me to check a bag for free, or the 1st Class/BF status.

I was wondering about this myself, since next month my husband will be flying economy to Dublin and I will be BF. Does that mean that we can only check 3 bags free? Don't they even allow one bag per person on International flights for economy passengers?

One questions seems to beg another!
