Can anyone confirm the bolded clause? It would be better strategy, I think, to take window and aisle seats (in, e.g., an A320) so that the middle stays blocked as long as possible--in case the companion does get bumped back and the bump goes unnoticed for a while.
Also, is it true that separate PNR's means no ability to use one person's 500 milers for both?
The only reason it's an issue, of course, is because united.bomb won't let me use a CS e-cert for an itinerary of more than one passenger (even though the rules of the cert make no such exclusion).
Many thanks.
