Anyone know if a companion has to be on your United reservation to become eligible for an upgrade if I have status? Or do they have to be on the same reservation as me

I’ve got the same question. Can I call United and have them merge?

If you have status you can choose to upgrade your companion .. does not have to be on same reservation. That was the case when I last flew over a year ago.

I think we are interested in the extra leg room seating perk. Not necessarily using plus points for first upgrade

like

If it’s long haul international you know they don’t do free / automatic upgrades like they do for domestic / short international flights

If you mean for complimentary upgrade by availability, then yes. You have to be on the same reservation for both of you to be automatically queued up. If different reservations, you can call United to add that person as your companion

If you have status, then the other person on the reservation will be eligible for a complimentary upgrade based on your status

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
