Thanks everyone. I agree DLFan and BusTrav. Would def give up my first class (if I get bumped).

Understood that the companion must be on my record locator. I've been Gold since 2010, but am not familiar with this phrase. Does that mean, companion must be on my same confirmation number?

BTW BusTrav - I WAS looking at exactly that 10:50 nonstop. Good eye!
