Preparing to book a trip - I'm Plat, travel companion is Gold. If we book on the same PNR, would be both be eligible for upgrading in the Gold window or do we both slide all the way to the bottom of the list? Suppose could also book separately but was thinking if I booked both seats at least we could get Comfort+ at time of booking free of charge.
Thanks!
If you book both on the same PNR, you should be able to grab C+ seats through the website for both you and your GM companion at the time of booking since you're PM. As for the upgrade list, you'll be on the list as if you were GM, usually (but weirdly not always) one place higher than your companion.
If you separate the bookings, it's as if you're flying alone, although a phone agent will sometimes move a companion on a different PNR into a C+ seat for you if you ask nicely.
