Does not appear that the fares will qualify for mileage upgrades so won't be able to confirm prior to MVP window.

Also if one passenger is MVP and one isn't (same record), does that put you farther back in the queue?

Note: My search found quite a few upgrade threads for MVP Golds and some info on SEA but little for OAK.
Well companion upgrades are not available for companions of MVP's (Gold/75K perk) so you would have to split the PNR for that to happen in the first place. When are you looking at going to KOA? I'd say upgrades depend on the season, as F may be quite full already... Not sure this is that elite heavy of a route yet. Also the frequency might change the dynamics too. But I know of several FT'ers vying for upgrades on this route (most I think have used certs though... including myself KOA-OAK last month)
