If yes, is this some thing I can handle with the UA/*A agent(s) using the HUACA method (see I am learning some lingo too).

Also, an expert had mentioned being able to use the US miles for upgrades even though not flying US on a *A itinerary, or is it my misunderstanding?
You/they can travel together, but the 4th person will be on a separate PNR. You can use UA miles to book three ppl, and US miles to book the fourth person, but you need to make sure that there is award availability for four people.
