Thanks for the quick reply. I guess my best bet is to split the PNR. I made the reservation on united.com since I couldn't find the same fare on continental.com? Should I just call United and ask them to split the PNR for me? I've already paid the E+ fee for my third companion to sit in E+, however my second companion is in E+ because they were on the same PNR as I am. Will my second companion get kicked out of E+?
