Could anyone please tell me if it is possible to merge 2 separate bookings? I have a BA Executive Club Gold card, and booked flights with BA and Iberia. A few days later, my girlfriend booked the same flights (she has a Bronze card). Would it be possible to merge the 2 bookings so I can choose seats to sit together?

I’d suggest contacting either BA or IB, basically just stating the same as above, but I think they may tell you it’s not possible. Good luck to you though.

Yes, just call them up.

You should be able to allocate the special Gold seats to your gf if on the same PNR.

Im showing my age now, but back in the day, merging bookings as such wasnt possible, but the agent, or in this case the airline, would put a note in the booking called ‘TCP’ (stands for to complete booking) and place the corresponding reference number in each booking. It essentially links the booking.

Whether it makes any difference to pre-seating selection I have no idea.

VintageKrug – What are the “special Gold seats”?

Hi

As VK says they will link the two bookings for you. They did it a couple of weeks ago for my wife when she decided to travel with me. I actually emailed their gold email address and they did it very quickly.

That gave me access through the ‘manage my booking’ section to pre-book seats in the reserved front section for gold card holders.

They will not ‘merger’ the bookings, as in you cannot change two bookings each for one person into a booking for two people.

You can do the opposite, split a booking for two people into separate individual bookings though.

What BA will do is link your booking and privileges (advance seating) to the other booking to allow you to sit together.

Last time I had to do this with my wife’s booking who is silver was to email the BA gold desk, gave them both booking references and ask them to seat her in seat XX.

The special Gold seats are 1A/K in F, some bulkhead/emergency/Upper Deck seats in Club (I’ve been Gold since the new seating arrangements so not precisely sure which seats are blocked for normals).

Also row1 on Dom and shorthaul CE.
