My wife and I are going LAX-MSY this fall, and our return has been affected by schedule changes. I separated the records for upgrading purposes, but now we're on different flights back to LAX.

The original flights were MSY-MEM-MSP-LAX. This was one of the best itineraries I could piece together to maximize EQMs. Now, my wife is on a later MSY-MEM-MSP-LAX and I am on the nonstop to LAX from MEM.

I would like to be on the same flights as my wife, but I'm sure that when I call NW, they will first suggest putting her onto my flights. Anyone have a similar experience with advice on what to say when talking to NW??

Thanks-
Shane
