Its been a few years since I had elite status on UA, and I just recently re-qualified for Elite on CO, so I'll admit I'm out of touch. But under UA rules, I can only have one companion sit with me in E+? Not only that, but I have to either pay for everyone else to sit in E+, or none of us can? Are you kidding me?
I can understand (but not like) the one companion rule, but making everyone pay, or no one gets to sit in E+? That's ridiculous. If I had known that, I would have been sure not to fly UA metal for this reservation.
I hope the new program follows the OnePass philosophy. Seating is really the only tangible benefit that I see out of having elite status now.
Big thumbs down to Mileage Plus for this rule.
