This will irreversibly wipe out all of my MR points, which is why I am dragging on pulling the trigger.
Call n ask whether can hold the available seat for you without miles and also put on waitlist for the seat. Tell them that you wish to confirm if both seats can be clear.
Soem agent should be able to help.
