This has been ticketed for a couple months and have had our schedules modified a bit.
I was planning on splitting our PNR so two of us will have a shot at UG's but not certain when- initially there was a 4 hour layover in LAX and I was going to do it upon arrival (so no issues with increased luggage allowances- although DL *should* honor that across our itins when checking in together based on my status) This is now a 51 minute cxn now, which would make it nearly impossible to split and be added onto UG lists.
Should I split now and hope for the best or wait a bit closer to the flights 33 days from now? Thanks for your insight

I'm leaning towards splitting this the more I think about it- any thoughts for/against?
And I think DL may have changed something on me since I flew them last, as at the
baggage page I see the following notation:

At one point wasn't this applicable to everyone checking in on the same itinerary? Or do they now need to be on the same PNR for this benefit? Thanks.
