LAX-IAD (me) first
LAX-IAD (wife) cpu?

The reason I'd like to be on the paid F is to get the PQMs.
doable?
Not at all possible.

If there is no penalty for one-ways versus RT, you can book your wife and you together on the outbound. But inbound must differ if you really want those PQMs, and your wife would never get that upgrade.

However, I'd book you both separately, giving up your RPU to her, and then you relying on CPU for IAD-LAX. (Although if that's the one lie-flat, that is a really tough CPU for a Plat).
