So my strategy of both of us being MVP and buying instant upgrade fares with a companion cert won't work?? Since even calling in am they won't upgrade to MVPs on one PNR?? And obviously you can't split a
PNR bought with a companion cert.

I'm not talking about upgrade at upgrade window but buying higher fare that allows instant upgrade.
