From what I understand, it's possible that the check-in agent will extend my baggage allowance to my companions so we will each get 3 free bags each because we were all on one PNR originally, correct? We have 7 bags total so hoping to avoid the fees.

We also had a 1K phone agent extend the E+ benefits to the companions, but they couldn't do anything for the bags.
