What do people think about upgrading you and a companion when you're traveling in a group of 4 or more?

I wouldn't upgrade in a group of three, as two of us in front and one alone in the back seems rude. But, two in front and two in the back seems fine to me, especially if we couldn't have gotten seats close to eachother anyway. And I figure in a group larger than 4 it's even more acceptable, since there'd be plenty of other people in the back. I would only do it in the 2/4+ situation, where two of us would be upgraded out of a group of four or more, not where it would be just me upgraded and one or more people in coach.

I think people who earned their status should be able to take advantage of it without generating any negative feelings.

But, that's just what I think. What do you guys think?

Whenever I'm in that situation, I always let my companions take the upgraded seats first. I figure it would be rude of me to take care of myself first, plus less frequent travelers seem to be more appreciative of business and first class.

Hmmm I have to say that I would not mind if I was traveling with someone and they were upgraded and I was not. I am really comfortable in coach. My boyfriend is very tall, so he is not comfy in back. I would rather he be comfortable.
