For example in your case, You’d book away from UA and your 1K status and your wife’s Gold status because the cost of one E+ seat for the 2nd kid is more expensive on UA? Even though you’re getting 1K and Gold privileges and 3 E+ seats free (you traveling separately, and wife and 1Ks)???
My guess is you’d fade the one E+ seat cost for everything else.
