One of the more frustrating changes since the res merger...
Call when your within your upgrade window. If there are seats available they should upgrade your companion.

I have platinum status and I used point to get ticket for PHL-SFO; I'm flying with a friend who does not have status and made their own reservation. I'm wondering the chances of me getting an upgrade and/or getting seats together if I'm not upgraded. Without status she was unable to reserve a seat in the exit row...if I call USAIR what are the chances of getting a seat for non-status in an exit row?

Thanks
You should be able to call now and have your friend moved to the exit row. I just needed a name (no confirmation code) to move my gf to a seat next to me.
