My wife is a Premier Exec. and I'm 1K with UA. Where we sometimes have a problem is when we take our kids along. We have 2 PNRs, one with me and one of the kids and one for my wife and the other child. (By the way both of our kids are college students)

Many times we can't get all four of us upgraded. If only two of us get the upgrade, we usually let the kids ride in F or all of us in coach.
