A-List Benefits As Companion?

Searched and couldn't find an answer to this question, only the opposite.

I'm an A-List member, but will be traveling fairly frequently as a companion this year as my girlfriend recently got the CP. Since there was never a place to put in my Rapid Rewards number, I'm wondering if I will get A-List benefits (fly by, early boarding) when I'm traveling as the companion.

When your GF books your flight, she can enter your RR # so you get your A list benefits.

If you have TSA Pre or a Known Traveler #, be ready to have your girlfeiend enter your number on every single booking.... Your RR# will be saved and automatically entered.

//Because, resasons... (IT is complicated for WN.)

Every. Single. Time. (or risk the wrath of your significant other when you have TSA pre and they don't).

Yup...if you are both A-List, you will both get A-List benefits. A-List benefits are applied to the traveler regardless of how the ticket was acquired or paid for assuming all of the RR info was applied to your reservation.

If your GF had CP and booked you and you were NOT A-List, her A-List benefits would NOT be extended to you. You would be on your own to check in and regular standby lines.

The reverse is also true. If she is not A list, she will not receive any A list benefits just because you do.

Figured this out the hard way on a recent trip to Las Vegas. Luckily there was a kind TSA agent who let my wife use the employee line instead of wait in line for about 45 minutes. I cancelled her previous booking for next weeks flight and ate the EBCI fees so I could put her KTN on the new booking.

FYI: You could have called WN and have had them add it manually.
