A nonstatus passenger who is not the travel companion and wishes to use a SWU is in the request queue based on their native status: VIP (no number) = no status, and therefore after:

"The following UPG priority levels are now in effect:

UPG1/VIP1 Concierge Key
UPG2/VIP2 Executive Platinum
UPG3/VIP3 Platinum Pro
UPG4/VIP4 Platinum
UPG5/VIP5 Gold" (sensei)
My business partner and I are traveling to HKG next month. He is CK and I am Plat. We have different PNRs as we booked at different times and are taking different flights to get to/from DFW. We are on the same DFW-HKG/HKG-DFW flights.

We are both booked in paid J.
  1. Can we link our PNRs given the different domestic legs to/from DFW?
  2. If so, is there a benefit to linking our PNRs so that in case of IRROPS I get his CK status?

Thanks!
