    Hi folks
    My OH has an ‘upgrade’ voucher on her Avios + card account and I will earn one shortly on my Avios + card. Can I use both vouchers on one booking? I normally book everything through my BA account. Will I have to make separate bookings [if you see what I mean….]

    You can book for others using a voucher, but it can only be used from the account where it resides, so in your case you’d need two bookings.

    Main downside would be seat selection if one has status and the other does not, plus possible complications in the event of IRROPS.

    You would need to make two separate bookings based on my previous experience.

    Seat selection isn’t an issue as long as there is a person with status in each booking they can select seats for free.

    Lets say peraon A has no status but person B does I’d book it like this

    Person A books the ourbound flights for both of them. B’s status gets seat selection

    Person B books the flight back for both of them. Their status allows seat bookings

    In the event of irrops on either leg both A &B will be on the same booking so at little risk of being separated.

    Can’t do that with two Barclays vouchers as they are ex-UK only, so it would need to be two returns for one person each.

    Oh Fluff. Keep forgetting that,

    In that case two separate bookings – one for each person.
