The reservations for my wife and I were split when she decided to stay on in the USA for another week. I was almost immediately was confirmed in WT+. Wife is still waitlisted.
As it is actually Mrs WF's FF account (and arthritis) that need the WT+ seat and points, perhaps some FF number changing on the boarding passes at checkin may be in order (if the one missing seat never appears - SYD-->LHR still shows T and W seats available)
How agreeable can expect checkin to be in BKK if I need to swap FF numbers.
