Using my GUF2 and GGL Joker for somebody else's Amex 241 Avios Booking

Hi all,

I'd like to do the following and wanted to check whether it could work.

Two of us are looking to book first class returns LON-LAS using avios.
- I have a joker to unlock the reward space
- I have a GUF2 to upgrade from business to first
- My friend has the Avios
- We both have an Amex 241 voucher

What I'd like to do is book using his Avios, my joker, and my GUF2. I understand this should be possible if I pay for the cash element. Would it be possible to also use a BA241 voucher, either mine or his?

I could pay the Avios myself which would make the whole booking simple, but since I have a free transfer of 27k per calendar year, it seems better if he pays the Avios and then I can transfer him 54k Avios over the next couple of months so we're broadly even.

Grateful for any observations or creative ideas.

Thanks!
