yup united club card-  i guess thats the reason,  its funny bec- 1k rep said - no upgrades on award tickets-   should always just ask here instead of the reps

I have 2 travelers traveling together but on separate reservations. Is there a way to combine it into one reservation?

It's like YWN. If a rep says it, it's probably fake news.

Need help!
 Traveling ua ewr to lax with tw and 5 kids, I had assigned seats together which just got changed and my kids are scattered all over the plane.
 The only available seats at the moment are E+ which is hefty sum for 7 seats.
I Called twice but they said they can't waive the fee.

(Tickets were purchased via Amex platinum)
Any options??

They are aware of that, but said they can only accommodate in the airport.

Is anyone familiar with earning PQFs on partner airlines? Officially basic economy does not earn PQFs on partner airlines but IME it's YMMV, I assume it has with the class you booked, I need 4 more PQFs to earn silver, I am flying on lot polish in a few weeks, EWR-WAW-KRK and back, does anyone know which class I need to book in order to earn PQFs? I'd much appreciate if anyone can answer me this question.
