Could something happen and we end up not on same flight?

Not sure I understand the question. Are you saying you want to secure an award ticket now and buy a revenue ticket later? They will NOT "bump" an award ticket to accommodate a revenue ticket...they are both paid fares. That said you should have no problem at all finding 2 BE seats on any route even a couple of days in advance unless you are traveling during some extraordinary period. Where to?
