Reply To: Family booking using 241 and Upgrade

[jsto]

Just piggybacking on this post as I’m in a similar situation, will be looking to book 4x CW tickets to Tokyo using an Amex 241 (in my name) and a Barclays upgrade voucher (in my wife’s name). I’m v aware I will need some good fortune to pull this off – I assume we’ll both need to call up ahead of midnight?

I have an added complication in that we have 3 kids, so I’ll have to book a separate ticket in a different cabin for the 5th passenger. Will this be feasible to do, i.e separately booking a single child avios ticket? In practice either myself or my wife will take the 5th seat, but booking it as a child ticket will presumably be the only way to do it given each of us will need to be attached to the 2 voucher bookings?
