1K changes off PNR with family one way - what happens to E+?
I don’t have experience with this on UA until today when unfortunately I needed to break off the return of a short domestic trip from the rest of my family. They all have no status and were seated in E+ with me but I’m a little worried that now that my trip has been extended 2 days that they may have issues, be asked to pay or get put into seats that are not together. I still see their E+ seats sticking but curious if anyone has experience with this and what I should expect? There are not 3 normal economy seats together which has me a bit worried.

They should be able to keep the seats without charge. If there's an aircraft swap or other change resulting in seating reassignment, they will be booted back to E-.
|
If United runs a sweep, they could lose their E+ seats. There's no way to know if or when they will do so, however.

Hopefully they’re not checking bags on the way back, either....

Another question - if I buy the TOD upgrade which appears to be $104 right now per person (block time just over 2 hours) does that give them free checked bags? |

Yikes - I forgot about that part! They fly Friday morning and would generally check one bag each but 2 are carryon size - probably can consolidate to 1 checked bag that has the large liquids. I will feel bad though as wife would have 2 roller bags, a YoYo stroller and kids backpacks to worry about. Probably worth it to fork over the first checked bag fee.

Traveling with kids alone is best done in economy. The seat arms flip up, and your kiddos (and parent) can enjoy the bench of 3 seats. Since kids are small, there is a lot of room and ability to cuddle/snuggle that you can't do in FC. |

For the outbound if their seats get moved prior to T-24 you can call the 1K line and they will put them with you in E+. For their separate return other than paying for E+ or domestic F no guarantees. As others have mentioned I personally prefer E +/- seats when traveling with my 2yrold and his YoYo. Having that arm fold up is convenient. I would personally fork out for more checked bags rather than deal with kids, stroller, extra luggage in the airport(s). |

United lets me check luggage and strollers, but not kids. Can you forward the name of the airline that lets you check kids? I really want to fly them in the future..... =)
