Thanks, as always, for your valuable contributions and the time you spend on this forum.
I agree. I usually travel solo, but after flying CO now for almost a year, the only points about flying with a companion which have sunk into my brain are:

1) Split the PNR after booking, and
2) Companions can only get added to the upgrade standby list 2 hours prior.

Anything beyond that will entail a great deal of pre-research and searching on this forum when I am in that situation.
