I need to know whether I need to transfer any MR points across.
They can apply the 2-4-1 if you call, so you should only need the Avios for 1 passenger
I believe there was a fairly recent change where you can now book the return online (needing avios for both passengers) and then call up later to have the 2-4-1 retroactively applied, at which point they then refund 1 set of the Avios, but that will not apply here if you are calling, it is just useful if you want to book online. I've not personally done this I must stress, only read it is possible
