Thanks.

Reservation has been a bear. I have it split between two locator numbers on the thought that maybe I can snag a free upgrade.

There are four of us but only one elite so the other reservation is for three without status. If we were all on the same reservation, getting preferred seating for all would not be an issue. But split it was.

First the flight down changed and we moved the reservation. Then the flight back changed. Getting seating on flight back was an issue but agent finally said ok.

So I am glad to learn that the lack of a check mark is not an issue. FT'ers are the best.
