What about an Elite who can board with an early group (if I read this correctly) and on the same PNR are non status pax (one or more)

Currently, I (plat) board with Plat and when traveling with my non-status kids they are allowed to board with me (usually on the same PNR - but not always) when Plats are called

Now if we are all on the same PNR and on BE - can they board with me? Won't the GA get flagged when their big scarlett 9 starts flashing over the Jet bridge door?

What fare rules are award lowest level saver economy Y tickets going to be classified as?

Not sure what our booking engine at work (Concur) will do for this stuff?

my guess is that I could make the case that BE + carry on fee + bag fee will be greater than regular Y fare class
