This is confusing. I thought the rule was that the compoanion could not be flying on a LUT ticket. Now you seem to be saying that previously the Medallion needed to not have a LUT ticket, but you say nothing about the required fare class of the componion, either previously or in the future.
Also, do they still need to be on the same PNR and request the upgrade before going to the airport?
Is the change effective immediately--i.e., with today's flights?
