Up to 8, but they must all be on the same booking. (If it's a group booking of 10 or more, than I believe only you can sit there)

Adding CO BusinessFirst Shower Services at Destination to here may be useful.

Can someone point me to a list of current, SWU upgradeable fares on CO? I am booking international travel on CO and transferring over a couple of UA SWU's to upgrade. My TA is unsure of what the lowest fare class she can book which will allow this.
Thanks!
Thanks!

W and higher, just like on UA.

Thanks, but is there an actual list anywhere? I would like to be able to give my TA something more specific than just "W or higher". I think she is already a bit confused as she said that CO doesn't have a W fare...so thats why I would love to be able to give her specific choices.

Y, B, M, E, U, H, Q, V, W.
If the TA doesn't believe that CO has W fares then it is time to find a different TA.

It's possible that there are no W fares left for the flight(s) you are asking her to look at.

CO Awars Search
Somewhere on FT I once saw a post giving instructions on how to get the CO.com award search to give you more than 50 flights. But I can't find it now. Can anyone point me to this? Thanks.

Waitlist Expired?
OK...I'm sure this is a simple question, but as this is my first experience with it I need some clarification.
I was wait listed on CO129 tomorrow IAH-GIG using a UA SWU, which was transferred from my linked MP acct (this was booked on CO; not a codeshare). It didn't clear (BF is slammed). I just got an email from DO about 15 minutes prior to online checkin becoming available that was a "Waitlist Expiration Notification" for my PNR. It also went on to state that I would automatically be added to the upgrade standby list when I check in.
Well, I checked in online and didn't see anything about the upgrade request still being active, and when I look at the flight on the mobile app I am not seeing the standby list as a viewable option.
The Rio flight is not until 9pm tomorrow so could it be that although I am checked in online, I am still outside of the 24 hour windows for that flight?
I have pretty much resigned myself to sitting in Y for 10 hours at this point, but I would love some reassurance that my name will at least be on the standby list should a miracle happen.

If you're on the list and checked in then your name should show up on the list, even outside 24 hours. It is not uncommon for there to be issues with the list transferring to the airport but talking to someone there usually resolves that.

Yeah I am well within the 24-hour mark now and still not showing any stand by list or the flight "amenities" for it. My connecting flight (JAX-IAH) is showing both just fine. Weird.

My brain has shut off, probably after the first few hours with my in-laws but I can't remember if platnum elites still get 500 mile mins for EQMs on any CO flight?
Do they still?
I need 660 to top up again for next yearl and have one week back in the USA to do it. Looking at a quick trip last days of December and want to make sure the 200-300 mile ranges will give me 500
Thanks
