Here's the situation. I am taking my wife with me on a business trip later in the year to Brussels. Unfortunately, corporate policy says that I must book with our coporate travel agent. That same corporate policy says that the travel agent can't book my wife's ticket.
By that time I'll be a 1K. I'd like to make sure that my wife and I can fly together, and at the very least get E+ seats with the middle blocked, if not upgrade together. From what I understand for her to get E+ seats she has to be on the same PNR as me.
Is there a way for United reservations to combine the two records into one, so that I can get her the benefits?
You can upgrade or selest seats together in E+ by calling UA reservations and giving them both PNRs. If your wife is not M+ elite, she will have to sit next to you (i.e. middle seat) in E+.
At least that was what UA Reservation told me last year when I was lowly non-status traveling with my 1P partner. We are now both M+ elite so we can choose aisle and window with open middle seat when traveling together.
