i have 2 upgrade vouchers on my BA avios account – i want to book for 2 of us both ways – is this possible does anyone know as it will only let me book/upgrade with 1 voucher. Any ideas on getting round this? thank you
Assuming you want to be on the same PNR, you have to call BA.
So that also means that if you want to book 4 one way tickets using 2 upgrade vouchers you cannot do it online? (Unless you make 2 separate bookings)
Yes, any use of 2 vouchers you have to call in. I recently did it one evening, got answered straight away (!) and she had no problem doing it on the phone, no booking fee as she was aware it wasn’t working online.
And for those worried about availability, is the recommended approach to book an outbound flight with one voucher covering both and then call up and add the return? Just like you would with a BA companion voucher?
No – you can’t use a voucher for inbound legs only as your journey has to start in the UK. Covered extensively in the other threads about the Barclaycard voucher! You’d need to use 2 vouchers one-way then add the return to each.
Thank you NorthernLass. If it is any consolation I did look through the forum, so just slow not lazy :). I do follow that you can’t book a flight starting outside the UK, wasn’t sure if you could add that on the phone though so thank you for clarifying. Based on the above that you have to call to use two vouchers would I have to book two separate one way tickets, each with its own voucher then call to add the return to each?
