Was able to nab both into a single reservation in about 20 minutes. Was the first time an AS agent wasn't able to book a ticket I found availability on BA smoothly - with 4 seats showing, I thought it would be a breeze. Worked out in the end, but not without some hold time. Agent was friendly and excited she could book it all for me!
