Elite Upgrades
OK, so my dad and I booked to TXL on 7/12 (mom and bro on award), and BTW it is nice and empty to/from TXL. My dad is elite, and we are booked on the same itn. What needs to happen so that his upgrade gets processed automatically? Does he need to call in and ask to see if an upgrade is avaliable? 762 upgrade domestic would be really cool (I'll try to take the upgrade from him 
). Probably won't happen, but oh well.

I'm not sure but I think EWR-TXL is on a 752. Are you flying in from IAH to EWR on a 762? If that's the case then your father should be able to get an Elite Upgrade on the domestic portion. First off, you'll have to get all non-elite pax off his itin, in order for the EUA to process. Second, wait and hope. Good luck! ^
