My wife and I are scheduled to fly from HNL to DFW later today on AA 114. We are booked on separate reservations. I'm booked on a cash ticked in J. She ( AA Gold) is on a paid ticket booked in premium economy. When I booked her ticket I had the agent link our reservations so she would inherit my EXP status for upgrade purposes. I also had the agent apply one of my SWUs to the request. She is currently #14 on the waitlist. Hard to believe there are 13 CKs and EXPs with SWUs ahead of her on this route, although I know it's possible. Or did she not really assume my status for the upgrade given the above circumstances?
