You will clear at the window and your companion would clear at, I believe, 24 hours before the flight.
Even if you are on an award, a companion on a coach (paid) fare is eligible for your companion upgrade (as long as you are GM or higher).
What about the converse? I plan to take some trips with family booked on miles, and my tix paid. Will they be eligible for comp UGs?
