Then you should be find -- once Flight Status starts working (or use the device date change hack), check your position on the Standby Upgrade list

hello so it looks like I have a conundrum. we have 5 people traveling on a reservation and we are going from ord-iah-xyz. I am a premier so I can get a upgrade for myself plus a companion and we are totally fine with having 2 people in first class and 3 in Econ. however what's the best way to go about this. considering no one else is a premier they all need my premier access and those airport benefits I assume united club access won't be affected from my united club card because they will realize everyone is immediate family. when should I split the par? because if everyone gets their own per at checkin none of them will get premier access etc. thanks!

even if different PNR, your companions can join you for aiprot check-in, security and boarding
For more see Premier benefits for companions on separate tickets, "off-pnr" [Consoldiated]
Elite bag allowance can be trickier but the counter agent can see the PNR history and may extend the allowance to all

The qualification is dependent family, adult children or other relatives do not qualify

As explained that may not be an issue
