Upgrade list error
 

When flying last week BOS-RSW, I noticed my husband's name ahead of mine on upgrade list. He has no status and was travelling as my companion. Did not split PNR as we both had golf clubs and suitcases and did not want to pay for baggage. How does this happen?

I've had this before on a no-chance UG MSP-ATL. No sense splitting when an UG isn't going to happen. I chalked it up to alphabetical. Is that possible in your case?

If you are on the same PNR, is he really "ahead" of you?

I am a DM, and my wife a GM, and I had this happen to us once last year. The only thing I could figure out was that it was the only time that I had booked our flights together using her Delta login info. Her info showed her as the primary of the two travelers.
