I’m wondering if this can be done:
1. Book a single itinerary with 3 passengers in premium
2. Call to upgrade 1 of those 3 to upper class with CC voucherCan this be done and would it continue to be a single itinerary?
When should a lap infant be added? Just do it when making the original booking? Or when calling to upgrade?
It can’t remain on one itinerary, no.
They will split your booking so two people will be on one booking reference and the upgraded person will get their own booking reference.
No idea about lap infants.
Thanks for the fast response. Is it generally possible to have an itinerary with 1 person in upper class & 2 in premium (let’s assume booking with miles)? Or all people on a single itinerary have to be in the same class?
Generally, all pax. on the same PNR in the same cabin. When BA split a PNR, they offer to ‘link’ the PNRs, so if there’s an issue with one PNR, for example, they’re aware of any knock-on effect to any other PNR, but VS may not do this.
Throw the lap infant on whenever, but might as well do it sooner than later in my view.
Thank you both, seems like best to have separate itineraries by cabin then link together.
Can you link 3 itineraries or is that capped at 2?
In BA land, linking itineraries is literally a comment on the PNR – something like “A1B2C3 is linked to D4E5F6”, so theoretically there is no upper limit (bar how many characters can be inputted per comment). I’d ring VS at this stage and ask what they can do. After all, they are the only ones whose comments – at this point – matter.

Don’t forget that unfortunately not all VS call centre agents are the brightest bulbs in the bunch, I’ve had before and the first agent doesn’t understand the problem and what I’m trying to get at, the next call, I’ve explained the problem to a different agent and they understand the problem straight away
Part and parcel of needing to ring a call centre…In BA land, linking itineraries is literally a comment on the PNR – something like “A1B2C3 is linked to D4E5F6”, so theoretically there is no upper limit (bar how many characters can be inputted per comment).

I’m still months from making any reservations as the trip in question would be summer 2025, just gathering initial info & making sure I have all the miles & vouchers needed.
