But if you're not looking for it, how do you know when it was split? I'm annoyed that somebody, not me, split the PNR my son and I are on, and due to irrops, I now have to deal with two different PNRs, one of which may or may not have the same status that I have (I'm Plat, he's non-elite). I don't know why it split, unless it was because one seat in Biz had opened up and the only way to put one of us in Biz and the other in PE would have required splitting? Which in the end wasn't needed, *if* that was the case, since I passed on the Biz ugrade and stayed in PE with him.

I'm going through a lot of nonsense trying to fix what UA broke by delaying my flight an hour, missing my MUC-LYS connection. Hoping to get the destination changed to MRS so I can still get to where I need to go in time, but UA is saying they can't do that, talk with LH. And now I just looked and discovered the two different PNRs. I have a different thread for the destination change request. Thanks-
