My appologies. I should have been more clear.

So my wife and I are flying iah-hnl. I am plat. She is silver. We bought our tickets prior to 10-19-09. As such I am allowed 2 bags at 70lbs and she is allowed 2 at 50lbs. However we are traveling with other family members who bought their tickets at seperate times. Two of them. Non-elite bought a few days after us in May. Sister in law more recently. The only elites are the wife and I. What I was looking to do was to combine the sister in laws reservation with my wife and I and take advantage of this part of the policy.

"Customers traveling with OnePass Elite members or dependents traveling with active U.S. military personnel are also exempt as long as they are traveling in the same reservation. This exemption will not apply to group reservations including 10 or more customers."
