Hi all, firstly apologies, I should be able to find the answer for this, but I'm going round in circles not quite finding it.

I am looking at trying to sort the seat next to me on the upper deck for a friend who is travelling with me, but on a separate booking. blue member .

As a gold I sorted 62K for myself. when I look at the seat map on my booking 62J is open, however when I go into her booking the seat is greyed out (blocked for status pax?). I am hoping to sort it at t-24 but if it is not even available to purchase now, assuming it is still available, will I be able to select it at t-24 or is it still restricted to golds even then (assuming that is what the issue is)?

The alternative is we sit together on the lower deck, so you can see why this is a matter of life and death

Merry Xmas all, hope your travels go smooth!
