Check Whether Your Elite Travel Benefits Extend to Companions

So-called "elite" status on airlines comes with a ton of perks. If you're traveling with others, they might be able to use some of those perks as well.

Travel blog The Points Guy lists the benefits that often ride on the coattails of an elite traveler:

• Access to a special reservations line


• Priority check-in


• Priority baggage delivery


• Priority security screening


• Increased award availability


• Reduced or waived fees

Certain airlines also give their own benefits, too—and he has a giant list at the link below. You'll need to be on the same itinerary as the elite traveler, but it's a small price to pay for some nice perks.
