Travelling with a colleague on a points upgrade, and no buggy for him !!
I once upgraded with miles at check in and my wife remained in J. On arrival, my name was on the escort’s board. When I mentioned that my wife was in J and therefore `I would wait for her rather than take the buggy, the escort responded: “I know that, we‘ll wait for her and she can come with us”.
