Hi!

I have a ticketed DONE4 RTW itinerary (ticketed on BA) with HKG-AKL on 19th October. CX113 has no D inventory on that night (but plenty of I and C it seems) so I'm booked via SYD on QF128/QF143.

Is there a way to "waitlist" for CX113 on a DONE4 fare? What happens when the waitlist clears? Any idea how to explain this to a BA callcentre operative?

To make things more interesting, I'm travelling with a companion on a separate PNR (also a DONE4 fare). I'm BA gold (OW emerald) and she isn't. How do we ensure that we actually end up on the same flights?

Should we just fly via Sydney?

Thanks.
