In other words here is the new BA policy:
If you (Gold) and Partner (non-Gold) travel together then you can sit in the Gold seats but your partner will be seated elsewhere. This has the advantage of increasing loyalty for Golds as if they can only get the best seats if travelling alone. If travelling with a partner and you want to sit together then effectively you only have the same stating choice as a Blue.
If you (Gold), partner and children want to sit together, forget it. (Does this sound a bit like Ryanair?)
Actually, that's not the answer to
Smirnoff's question - it is the answer to whether bookings which are TCP'd together would enjoy gold privileges on all PNRs.
