Interested in this also, since companions can't get upgrades on award travel. I was thinking you book first class award ticket for companion, purchase coach for yourself and use global upgrade or hope you get status upgrade??

@M1 something like that is what a colleague suggested to me, which got me wondering. That way you're also getting miles for the trip. But still- it all being free using miles is also pretty enticing... what to do, what to do....
