Some of these posts bother me somewhat--I completely understand that as a Platinum (or other elite) you should be able to get your travel companions moved to the Elite section of the plane; however this should only work if you're on the plane with them! I know at times I've tried to move my wife (non-elite) when I am not with her and they do not let me and frankly, I agree with this. It doesn't seem fair to the other elites that are actually on the plane. I do fully agree with being able to move your companions when you're flying though.
Anyone know the actual rules/policy on this? I know unfortunately I've seen it work both ways.
