Considering a 2019 GLC / AirPlay
The one we’re looking at has the P01 Premium package and the 320 multimedia packages. The dealer says 350 Apple AirPlay package can be added. The MBUSA website says it can’t. Anyone have all three packages?

I'm assuming you mean Apple Carplay. You cannot get the connectivity package that adds carplay with the multimedia package because it is included with the package. Adding multimedia automatically gets you carplay and andriod auto.

I know exactly what you mean. I saw the same thing that you see on the configuration. What I'm saying is that even though they don't advertise it on the website, I'm pretty sure that the multimedia package does actually include apple carplay and android auto.

Your "pretty sure" position is not consistent with what those owning 2019 GLCs have reported in this group. Can you provide evidence that such a configuration is indeed available and working "in the wild"?
Not trying to be confrontational, just noting that your assertion is contrary to every report I've seen. There are (or were) some aftermarket/eBay hacks available that add CarPlay, but it appears that any software update/reflash by the dealer wipes those out.

It can get confusing, with many models on different upgrade cycles. The GLC inherited the C-class's older electronics package and has been a bit behind the curve. Then the partial, non-COMAND compatibility arrived fairly recently. Looks like smartphone compatibility might be finally sorted when MBUX arrives with the 2020 models.
