See, I think that this is the part, as well as its ramifications, that I don't get for some reason. So, if we didn't clear ahead of time, would we find ourselves in a situation where each one of us would be upgraded individually? It sounds as though I'd have to call to have this automatic split at T-24h reversed each time if we wanted to clear in pairs at that point. And the iapetus jrs., as general members, would clear last if their upgrade wasn't tied to my wife or me?

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. Just thinking through the implications of flying with my wife and I paid and the kids on award ...


Thanks for the response! ^
