b) can we change seats for both flights on our itinerary at T-24 or do we have to call again once our second, connecting flight reaches T-24? I'm hoping to just call in once to assign all 4 seats for the 2 flights.
EDIT: Only UA Silver atm hence the check-in for E+ restriction.
To answer my own questions:
A) No we didn't need to be checked in
B) could assign seats for the second flight even though it was >T-24
However the agent said she was making "an exception" and that UA doesn't provide free E+ for companions on separate PNRs. Not sure how accurate that was but ALAS.
