SO....when you book the flight online at Co.com you can use the advanced search function and look for upgrades.

In the unlikely event that space is available at the time of booking ...just click and go.

More likely, however, you will have to call and request to be placed on the upgrade list.

Now you have a decision to make.....if only one seat is open....do you two want to be split up?

Your chances of clearing the waitlist could go up if you split your reservations and waitlisted independently. (If only one seat is realeased and you two are together, then you would both be bypassed). So if you are OK with the possibility of only one of you clearing, then split the reservation and both of you cross your fingers.
