Also, how many people would be eligible for upgrade on my PNR? Is there a max?
You will get reciprocal elite benefits for having AAdvantage status.
You will only receive a bag fee waiver for yourself, even if you have companions on the same reservation.
You and one companion are eligible to receive an upgrade to Premium and First, as long as you don't book a saver fare (fare class X).
