But only the ATL-LAX leg cleared on booking - we got put on the waitlist for the LAX-LIH leg. This is even though it actually still has the message "First available with Upgrade Certificate" on that leg if you search it online. Calling CS and they indicated that even though I searched for 2, there is only 1 seat available in the upgrade fare class, and so we are waitlisted. They did offer to split the reservation but then indicated we'd lose C+ on the seat that didn't get the upgrade. Is this right?
What if you use the RUC for the non-Platinum companion; why would the Platinum lose C+?
