Also, how many passengers can get upgraded using RPU/GPU under 1 reservation? Thanks ^
If you log into your UA account and activate advanced mode, you will then be able to do a flight search for your flight and see the fare buckets. If there is space in R available, you should be able to use RPU / GPU certs to upgrade the reservation.
I believe if there are only a few R spaces available and you have 6 people on the record, you can upgrade individual passengers, but the record will be split apart (but all party members will retain all of your privileges, such as premier access, E+ seats, and general CPU upgrade-ability).
Not sure what happens if there is no R space available and you use the certs... will the record automatically split up if space opens up? (Kacee or some other evangelist... please help).
