Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Booking with Companion Vouchers in different names

  • 16 posts

    Hi all, I am going to be booking flights in CW using BAPP Companion Vouchers, one in my name and one in my spouse’s name. Avios all in household account. Will be phoning the US call centre at 0100BST as it’s probably the 2nd most popular destination for reward bookings. Spouse and I are both nominees on each other’s BA Club Accounts. Can a call centre agent hold 4 seats and then complete this in 2 bookings or do spouse and I both need to phone up at same time and book separately at the same time? Thanks in advance for the advice.

    You can do it at the same time on one call – I’ve done so multiple times. If you’re not an authorised nominee for your partner’s account then they will need to be available so that the call centre agent can complete the second booking with them after they’ve processed the first one for you

    Is the US call centre still making these bookings – has anyone done this recently? I would also be online at 0100 in case you can’t get through or encounter an unhelpful agent as a few readers have posted about in the long T-355/241 thread.

    So we left it slightly too late (00:55) to call the US call centre and got the office closed message. Then had to battle it out online and managed to secure 2xWTP and 2xWT on BA5. Got as far as payment authorisation with 2xCW but someone beat us to it! Is it now worth sitting it out with a Seatspy alert and trying to upgrade if more seats are released? Really wanted BA7 on the A350 in Club Suites.

    Yes definitely worth setting up an alert, though of course someone may still beat you to it. People do book speculatively at T-355 and then cancel later when their plans are firmer, and BA does sometimes release more seats (though unlikely for HND at peak times).
