Reguarding your fear of having CX change
your seat assignment : being solo taken up
a seat in the 2 pairs of seats in the
middle :
1st of all ..they would not dare take away
a FC pax seat assignment .
2nd : have the airline put an OSI message
in your PNR showing that this is TCP2 with
Mrs Mandarin ( To complete party of 2 )
and cross referenced the PNRs . If they
divided your PNR from one into 2 : this info
is already showing in both separated PNRs
by the computer .
And I have never had any trouble accessing
the FC lounge , at whatever time my flight
was , nor when I get there . Period.
Hope this helps .
PS : reguarding your birthday celebration
on board , plz have Mrs Mandarin call in
for you : like for special meal..you have
to ask them for the cake at least 24 hrs
in advance . Have her do it OK..looks funny
if you call in and ask for cake for yourself
!!! (:
