Reply To: Question around BA Companion Voucher reward flight booking

[NorthernLass]

You can have more than 2 people on a 241 booking, as long as any CW seats booked are the standard reward ones and not the extra availability ones unlocked by the 241. At T-355 they will most likely be standard ones though.

As above, most BA agents appear to be insisting that the same ratio of avios to cash must be used on each leg, regardless of cabin class.

When you make the outbound booking with the voucher, simply select 2 adults and 1 child when you are given the option to add passenger numbers. If you’re booking economy on the outbound, there shouldn’t be any complications with this.

*Also – if you haven’t got enough avios to book the highest rate, you need to look at whether it actually makes financial sense to have all 3 of you on award bookings. You might be better using your avios plus a lower amount of cash for the voucher holder and child, and making a cash booking or BAH for the 2nd adult. These would have to be separate bookings, but you then wouldn’t have to worry about availability for the 3rd seat.
