I did a search and couldn't really find an answer to this so here goes.. I apoligize in advance if this has already been posted.

So I booked the family vacation this summer (3 of us).. Booked it back in Feb.. Here's the basic itinerary

BDL-IAD on ACA
IAD-LAS on TED

TUS-DEN on Mesa
DEN-ORD on Mainline
ORD-BDL on Mainline

I know the rules on E+ (only 1 companion).. Is there any possibility of securing E+ seats in advance at least on the Ted flight (especially since that's the longest)?

I would think one perk Ted could offer would be E+ for an additional companion (bringing the total up to 2 companions)... especially since Ted was supposed to be geared toward the leisure traveller.

Also, the ORD-BDL leg in Feb was an A320.. Now it's a 757, where seats 14BCD are in the last E+ row before Exit & E-. Will the computer change that randomly when it realizes that I'm the only elite in the reservation.

Btw, it's all booked on the same PNR.

Any thoughts?
