... How do the upgrades work for me +1 when there are 3 in the booking?
Gotcha, thanks. So the question remains... since we are a party of 3, how do they handle an upgrade, if available? Do they call me up to the counter and ask which 2 people want the upgrade? Do they just pass over me because we're a party of 3?
No one on a 3-passagner (1-elite+2 non-elites) PNR are eligible for CPUs. You will not even show-up on the gate list.
You will have to split the PNR or forgo upgrades.
