I finally (being Plat) was able to get my spouse upgraded this year. It took me flying from PIT back to IAH for this to happen. Does anyone have any luck with flighd out of IAH as a Plat getting the companion upgrade? I have flown to PHL, TUL (on the 737 not the ERJ) and MSY this year and still not have been able, 2 seperate tickets as well. Does the plat companion trump the new purchase an F ticket? I thought I knew the rules, but out of PIT she jumped to first on the upgrade list with a "cheapest you can get ticket" off the internet. . .
