My partner, myself, and 2 other people are traveling ORD-BCN on the "Air Europa" special that was on Mileage Run a while back.

The reservation was booked through Orbitz, and the flights have Air Europa flight numbers.

I want to divide my partner and I into separate reservations so we have a shot at EUA processing.

Continental advised that they cannot do this -- as it would jeopardize the reservation portion with Air Europa (MAD-BCN-MAD).

Is this really true? I would think that Continental could divide our reservations in their system without having any impact on the Air Europa flights.
