The last three days I have been upgraded and not her. I call the diamond line and they move me back to coach. The last person said I should keep the upgrade and if my daughter doesn't get upgraded give it away at the gate to the person sitting next to my daughter?? Is there a way to put us both on the list at her status? Or, should I wait and talk to the gate agent in SEA. Thanks.
I'd do this in the case your daughter does not get the upgrade, but it will likely have to happen on the plane, unless you ask all 150+ other pax at the gate where they're seated

. I'm quite certain no one will have a problem with exchanging seats, especially the guy you give the upgrade to.
