So I read all the pages on the 'new' enhancements. As an A-list flyer that also pays for and flies 80+% full fare, I am going to get an early A boarding pass.

My CP designated person is my 4 year old son.

Is it true that I have to allow him to NOT board with me?

Should I ask the people in his group to help him get on the plane while I save a seat for him?

I think this is what WN wants.

This doesnt happen to me when I fly AA/QF/BA/CX with him. He gets to board with me regardless of his 'status'.
