Anyway, on the standby list, I am number 1, but my wife is number 3 with someone inbetween us. As a none MP member , is she not travelling with same priority as me? If so, why is it not us 1 and 2 instead of 1 and 3?

On a side note is it better, worse or irrelevant to have people travelling with you to be a MP member or not ?

thx
2 has the same status as you do and goes ahead of your companion, who is ahead of anyone with lower status than yours.
