TL;DR: I see chatter about needing to pay with the Chase credit card to access baggage and priority benefits. Is this true?
Booking 4pax (2 minors) OW SJC-ORD-ROC (BE Fare)
No status, but I have the Chase Quest card (2x bags for 2 pax on PNR)
I would like to pay the entire flight with TravelBank, but I am unofficially reading I need to use the Quest Card to access the baggage and boarding benefits?
A. Can I pay a
small portion of the BE fare on the Quest card to guarantee my benefits?
B. Will my minors (under 10yrs old)
get seated with me at a minimum?
Per link above:
Families with children under 12 can book Economy and Basic Economy seats next to each other for free. Sometimes, seat assignments change because of last minute bookings or unscheduled aircraft changes. If this happens on your flight and your family is separated, you can switch to another flight with availability in the same cabin for free. We won't charge you for any fare differences.
