- Fix: When two preferreds are in the same reservation, the upgrade will occur based on the Highest preferred level of the travelers. Note: Only one non-preferred person can be on the reservation. If more than one non-preferred, no upgrade will occur. Example: 2 golds + 2 no status would not get upgraded. 1 chairman, 1 gold + 1 no status would get upgraded at the chairmans window (assuming 3 First seats were available)
- Codeshare flights will no longer be upgraded (example, booked as a UA flight, but flying in US metal).
Thanks much for the info, especially the part about highest preferred level... I was literally just about to divide up PNRs for fear of getting nothing in F on upcoming trip with Silvers
