This isn't the preferred procedure (as xxxxx said, the sectors should be held as 'information purposes only'). I would be a little concerned as a 90 minute turnaround seems a bit too efficient.
Straight after I got off the phone 2 bookings were in MMB: one for the whole trip, with no seats or "Confirmed" status for the SIN-LHR leg, and a separate booking for SIN-LHR with just the one seat. That second booking disappeared later.
The voucher number and miles are yet to be taken from me so I know it's not actually a done deal, and I'm waiting until I get the call back from BAEC telling me it is (or not). Both of us travelling still have our fingers crossed... just not as tightly as they might have otherwise been
