An interesting experience with TK - sister upgraded with my FF#
How did you manage to stick your ff# onto her pnr? Unless you have the same name exactly....
I mean this way I can give elite status for anyone....just give them my ff#....and maybe earn miles at the same time?

Thanks for your insight.

I can confirm this with BA and CX.
My 2 boys have very similar FFP# and when I was at the CX lounge at LHR to ask them to change their FFP#, the agent mixed up their FFP#. The end result is that the miles never end up in their FFP and I had to contact BA to get them back. It's a lot harder than you think and I had to involve BA HKG office to help me with this - they had to write a case out to get our points back.

Yeah...could we please keep this "secret" to ourselves? 
No points/miles but it works like a charm for the elite benefits. Having the same surname will help.
It certainly paid off in the OP's case (or more correctly for the 2 pax who most likely would never have been upgraded without TK*G status for the flight).
