Adding a colleague to E+?
Every so often, I happen to be on the same flight as colleagues that often do not have status. As a UA Gold - is there a way to extend my E+ benefit to them (either pre-airport or at the gate?) Less concerned about CPUs - really just because as a Gold flying mainly IAD, I'm usually around #20 anyways =p

You need to watch the seat assignment from time to time as this is a manual process and if there is an aircraft change, the individual would be swept back into E-, requiring another call.

Call in and give your colleagues' confirmation number to the phone agent, they should be able to get him/her into a E+ seat so long there are still seats available. If you opt to do it at the airport, just flag down an check in agent to check in together.
