also, was there ever a consensus on how AM+ works now? Is it actually a benefit? can it be selected ahead of time or do you need to contact AM? some of the comments here are old so curious if there's any more recent experiences
You need to separate the PNR. Each passenger needs to be on their own. If you both weren't PM and had any DL operated flights this could be an issue for upgrades, but as your both PM PM there's no benefit of being on same. Actually there's a drawback, any upgrades for DL metal would require 2 seats be available otherwise itll skip both of you for the next PNR with just 1 upgrade request.
