Secondly, my wife missed PE by a hair this year and dropped to Premier. Twice recently, while trying to upgrade for the 2 of us (through my account) and being waitlisted for seat upgrade release at the airport, the GA apparently looked at her status first, saw she was Premier, knocked her down the list (while telling me as PE that I got the upgrade, which I declined), and put another standby passenger in F. So it seems that the minor problem of her being first on the PNR now becomes a problem with regards to using our e-upgrades. Can anyone explain this and help in solving this issue? Thanks a lot.
On this first issue, I don't understand. What do you mean "booked in my wife's name"
On the second, if upgrades have not cleared by roughly 4 hours prior to scheduled flight time, the waitlist is re-ordered by the individual passenger's status. So you status will no longer help your wife in that circumstance (upgrading close to flight time).
