Yes, I meant to post an update about this and forgot. I'm pleased to report I *finally* got an agent who seemed to know what they were doing. Tickets all issued for the expected number of Avios, although not flying until December. I am less pleased to report it took me 29 attempts!! I am not kidding... I counted up the number of calls I had to make before it was possible. Generally, if I know something is possible, I will be persistent, but IB+ was almost too much even for me! Good luck!

Wow! Lucky you! You must have got through to one of the very few IB agents who knows what they are doing.
