Agent says complimentary Comfort+ is only available for either of us if we both have SkyMiles numbers tagged to the flights. Is this correct? PM benefits state complimentary Comfort+ upgrades for member and companion, no mention that companion must have SkyMiles status. It'd be more convenient long term for my companion to get FB miles accrued, hence I'd rather not create them a new SkyMiles account for just this one trip.
If you are on a KL coded, DL operated flight, C+ upgrades are only available on day of departure. DL upgrade processor cannot process upgrades as there is KL equivalent to DL SU upgrade class.
