So we will not be seating together. I am wondering if my family member can get an Economy Plus seat in this case.
Thank you.
In the last three years I have done this multiple times. While I did have to call, the agents were quite ready to help and put my companions in E+.
Before Covid I had an agent indicate that she often did this for Platinum and 1K passengers but did not do this for Gold without referring to her supervisor.
It has not mattered what class I was in (F, PP or E). The only thing that mattered was that I was on that same flight.
