I assume the computer will not process the upgrade due to tie in with companion and 1 seat left, so if I check in now and keep my companion on the upgrade list - does the gate agent need to split the resy in order to process an upgrade? FYI- I have other family on the same flight so minor will be fine.
How old is the minor? United’s system does not know you have other family on the flight. They will not process the last upgrade until the gate, so you’ll have time to work it out there (assuming the seat isn’t scooped up someone else - e.g. cash upgrade).
