The OP saw actual names on an upgrade list on SAT, 4+ days prior to his a single leg Companion Cert flight ATL-MCO. He didn't mention Int'l legs; how could he add them to Companion Cert flight anyway, and what would be the structure? He would have to be already checked in to his itinerary before SAT when he was able to see the ATL-MCO flight that was "more than 24 hours away as of TUESDAY".
OP, big favor, can you post your itinerary please? Or was it just ATL-MCO? Thank You!!
Ah--I now see what you posted upthread. I think where you may be getting confused is that nothing about OP's itinerary, or them being checked in (or not) affects their ability to see the upgrade list or what they see on that list. All passengers booked on a given flight are going to see exactly the same data, whether they are checked in or not. The same data is also displayed on the gate information screens at most airports.
