I've used 2 x Amex Companion vouchers (4 Seats - 2 Adults, 2 Children) to book outbound LHR-JNB in F at T-354 days out. I wanted to book J but availability was really restrictive.

Looking to add on the return leg from either JNB or CPT in the next few days (when seats are released). Availability has been zero for the last week (school holidays) for 4 seats. BA are releasing seats but seemingly only 2 in J and sometimes 2 in F as well.

How feasible would it be for a family of 4 to travel as 2xJ and 2xF on the same flight? I really don't want to do this, but returning using Avios will mean something drastic like this or I cancel the trip.

I know coming in and out of the F cabin will be seen in a dim light by crew and fellow passengers and I totally understand the F etiquette.

Anyone got any experience of this or have any suggestions? Kids will be 8 and 6 years old.

Thanks!
