Hmmm, UA has always been very good at tying two records together so my travelling partner and I could be in the P zone together. In fact,recently we were travelling most of the way together except for the final leg. UA had no seats to give him for that leg. I said to UA, "He already feels like a second class citizen with UA as he has no status. This will only further those sentiments if he can't get a seat."
UA then bent the rules and found a seat. I truly appreciated it, because they did not have to do it at all.
