- immediately cancel the booking
- have the voucher converted to a FTV voucher with a April 2023 expiry

Are there any nuances I should be aware of, aside from ensuring the companion name is the individual I will ultimately want to travel with?
Yes this seems the right method. Bear in mind you are stuck with the same passengers you make the booking with that you FTV when you come to make the new booking.
