My friend (no status) and I are flying AAA-BBB-AAA on separate reservations. We are on the same flight for AAA-BBB, but on different flights (however on the same day) for BBB-AAA. I am planning on calling Delta to link the reservations together, so he can get the benefits (SkyPriority, upgrades, etc). This is all outlined on this page: https://www.delta.com/us/en/skymiles...llion-upgrades

My question is, will we still be allowed to link reservations, even though we are flying BBB-AAA at different times? If anyone can share their experiences with linking reservations, that would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance! Figured I ask the Flyertalk community before I potentially get the wrong information from an agent.
