I have a 3-person adult reservation - IAH-CUN-IAH for November. I am Plat- my wife- silver - the third person - member. My wife will be 24 PQP's short of Silver for qualification unless I move her into first class for this flight. As of right now, United is showing me $276 per to move into first (F has 20 seats open). We have a friend (single booking) going on the same plane, and United is showing $164 to upgrade that person. What are your ideas on splitting the reservation? Plat/Member -1 confirmation; wife -1 or 3 single confirmations? I am trying to maximize the ability to capture an upgrade to first class for free (myself/+ member). I am also trying to think about the return and getting 1 or 2 seats upgraded there due to my status and number open on 777. TIA!
