Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Using two companion vouchers in different names on the same booking

  • 1 post

    Hello

    Long term lurker, first time poster.

    I am looking to book a Reward Flight booking for my family (myself, my wife and two children) for summer 2026 for LHR-YYZ return.

    My wife and I both have BA Amex Premium Plus cards and have one companion voucher each ready to use, both of which we would like to use on this booking. I am BAEC Silver, my wife is Blue. For this reason (seat selection, primarily), I would like to make the booking on one reservation code.

    Is there a way of doing this? When I log-in to my Reward Flight booking page on the BA page, only my companion voucher comes up as available for use, and my wife has the same.

    I guess there’s an option of making both bookings separately (with one child on each booking and one grown up) and calling to see if they’d link the bookings, but would that give me the option to select seats, does anybody know, on my wife’s booking?

    I guess I could also call the call centre to make the booking and see if they’d let me use both companion vouchers on one booking (which isn’t against the T&Cs as both companion voucher holders will be travelling, of course), but I was wondering if there’s a neater way to do it than this…

    Thoughts gratefully received.

    Are you both parties of household account. Don’t know if that helps.

    I’m afraid you’re out of luck on both points. If the vouchers are in different accounts it has to be two separate bookings, and No you can’t then choose seats on the other booking.

    You could pay for two then choose the other two adjacent for free, depends on how much you all want to be together.

    The only other option I can think of would be for you to book yourself and 2 kids with your voucher, then you’d get free seat selection for 3 of you. Your wife could use her voucher to get a 50% discount on the avios required for her booking. The saving on the seat selection might not outweigh the cost of the extra avios for the first booking, however.

    How old are the children? If they can fend for themselves I’d be tempted to select 2 seats for free and leave the others to fate!
