Using a BA 241 voucher with a three person family

RE Barclays upgrade voucher – I found these details from Rob’s article – to save someone else looking for them. Note – these won’t start being issued until Feb – so we will see how they work in practice!

A family of three could unofficially combine an Amex 2-4-1 voucher and a Barclays upgrade voucher on the same trip. Two seats could be booked with the companion voucher and the third seat booked with the Barclays Avios Rewards upgrade voucher. You would need to make two separate bookings to do this.

You cannot book a World Traveller Plus ticket on Avios and then ring up BA to upgrade it to Club World if two Club World seats open up later. You would need to cancel the original booking and make a fresh one.

@Aston100 – yeah, all of mine were in household/ friends list

@NorthernLass – have definitely done it a few times when flying with my parents – 2 on a 241 and third in same PNR on Avios only (ie 3 adults).

Just to add. I was recently incorrectly told twice I couldn’t use a 2for1 in a booking with 3 pax, however this only applies if using the enhanced availability from the voucher. The last time tje agent was pretty off with me (ive been here ten years and would knowm..) but I stood ground nicely and asked him to check and then he came back and apologised and was actually a delight for the rest of the call.
