Can I call BA as a Gold to get a seat assigned for someone on a different PNR/HBO fare (same flight/same cabin)? Do they need to confirm their own details with BA?
Thanks!
Thought I would come and answer my own question just in case it's helpful to someone else...
Called BA to get this sorted, and was all very efficient most likely due to using conference calling. I was able to provide both PNRs (booked through a corporate agent), conference my colleague to provide data protection including passport number) and get the seat request in. Seems without the conference the other person needs to add you as a third party nominee to the booking, which sounds far from ideal.
