Looking for some personal advice. I have earned enough points to qualify for an upgrade on my flight next month. But I don't have enough for my wife to get an upgrade, she never really travels and doesn't use the CC, so she didn't earn any points. Would it be okay if I took my upgrade and left my wife in economy? She will probably sleep most of the flight anyway.
