Hi all - quick question for the CX brains trust.

About to book a SYD-xHKG-FRA return itinerary in Economy for two pax — my partner and I. I need some flexibility in my plans so I’ll be booking an Economy Core ticket for myself, while I plan to book my partner into an Economy Save ticket, which will save ~ 1000 AUD in superfluous spending.

I am a QF OWE and know I can select any seat on all flights (including my preferred bulkhead seat). Will the call centre allow me to have my partner (separate booking, no status) next to me?

Companion seating on separate PNRs but the same flight is a benefit QF provide but I’ve never been in this situation with CX.

Thank you in advance.
