I'll be flying to LAS on US from FRA later this year. Had to book them since they were less than half the price CO would have charged me. What can I expect as a CO Silver? I suppose nothing at all - no free second luggage, no elite boarding or luggage?! What I find strange is that there are three of us flying (I'm the only elite) and they seated me in choice seats while they didn't seat the rest of my party in choice seats. Also isn't it possible to select any other choice seats neither for myself nor for anyone else in my party.

Anyone familiar with their policies - would it be wise to mail them asking to be seated together in choice seats? Also anyone familiar with their go envoy upgrade program? How can I upgrade on the return flight from PHL to FRA?

Anything else I have to know before my flight?

There is a megathread discussing elite status on :-:A partner airlines. If I remember correctly, provided you have an elite passenger on a PNR, that passenger may select, "Choice" seats for all pax in the PNR.

No harm in asking but... a phone call might work better.

You would probably receive better answers to the above questions in the US Airways forum. I will tell you that your only shot at an upgrade on the TATL segments is US's Go Envoy buy-up program. You can get more information about it on US Airways.com.
