Well, call me a hog....I have 5 kids and the wife and I are hauling all 5 out to SFO next month from PHL. 2 of us are preferred (one PP, one SP). We ended up getting 3 award tickets out of one account, 1 award out of another account, and bought one ticket at the time of award redemption, then the final 2 last night. I called and had all of the PNRs linked, then was able to get us all in row 5 and one other in 6D- so it can be done.
