I frequently travel with a plat member and have noticed that when we're in the same PNR, we still get upgraded in our respective windows and our placement on the UG list is VERY different should we have to fight for battleground UGs. This is different than what used to happen--at least PMNW--where it was lowest common denominator, and having a lower-level elite member in the same PNR would hold me back. Travelling with a base member in the same PNR this week and no upgrades despite X/V=4 according to Expert Flyer. So it appears the above holds for elite + non-elite, but not for elite level A + elite level B in same PNR. Anyone have experience?
