I suppose it all depends who you get on the phone at the elite desk??? Any experiences with this?

EDIT: I should add...we were originally on the same PNR, I was split when I waitlisted for an upgrade each way and it cleared. I wonder if that would get me any mileage with the elite line?

Hi TommyC80, I won't fault you for trying, but your travel companion would not be eligible to confirm the Hawaii Rev-up outside of 2 hours before departure. This is regardless of whether you're in the same reservation.
