Split reservation - Able to get preferred seating?
I think I know the answer here, but thought it was worth asking FT.
I bought my wife and I separate tickets so that we could both use a $50 fare recovery code. As a MVP, I was able to choose an aisle seat. My wife who does not have status, was not able to. After purchasing the tickets, I linked the reservation online. I called Alaska to ask if we could both be seated together in the exit row and was told no.
Is this a case that I should HUCA or did I screw everything up by booking our tickets separately? Is it possible to get both tickets on the same PNR now? Thanks!
