4 people on same PNR. 1 (me) is 1K, the other 3 have no status.
Will I get my CPU 5 days in advance if I keep it this way? From this board, it seems that the answer is no, and I should split mine off. However, I just spoke to a UA rep on the phone, who told me that I should still get my CPU if I keep the PNR as it is. Is the rep wrong?
Also - if I do split the PNR, will my companions be booted out of E+?
Thanks for the help.
You WILL not get upgraded the way it is.
Split yourself and one person off. All the rest will stay in E+, but lose baggage waivers. But make sure to do something like this for seating:
ABC DEF
Put non-elites in A, C, and D. Put yourself in F. Split yourself and D off. If you get upgraded, everyone is pretty close, and comfortable. If someone sits in B, D and B can switch.
If D gets upgraded also, then A and C can decide what to do (stay as is, or switch with B).
You and that person can get upgraded and will get full baggage waivers (so you can check all bags for the whole group).
I do this a lot - as I also have Pre-Check. So I check bags while the rest go through security. Then I glide through TSA.
