I rarely fly UA, but have Silver status via Marriott. On our flight down to STT, the gate agent split the records for me and MsCP and we upgraded the IAD-STT leg.
Our return is 2 days away, sitting in E with plenty of E+ seats available. As of now, the only way to change E seats is to go in and manage reservations/change seats one at a time.
At T-24, will MsCP keep my status and be able to select an E+ seat? Will I be able to change both seats at the same time, online? Or will I risk changing one of two and someone else takes the seat next to it before I get to the other record?
I assume we’ll be on the upgrade list together, though we may be split with one upgraded, correct? Only one checked bag, so no issue there.
MsCP may not be able to select E+ for free at T-24. Best way to accomplish this will be to call at T-24 and have an agent reseat you both (this is not a problem as 2 E+ for silver at T-24 applies to you and any guest - regardless of ticketing arrangement - as long as you are on the same flight). This will also prevent the situation you describe above from happening.
