I've got EWR-FLL award flights coming up with a non-status companion on the same PNR later this month. Also curious about how you use the pda site to track waitlists (apologies for the rookie questions

).

Splitting the reservation is always the best way to score an upgrade. Checking in early will not help as only EAU recognizes the upgrades the airport standby list does not although I assume that will be fixed eventually.
