Booking with points using 2 different accounts

Booking a points trip JFK/CDG/ATH for 4 people and while I have enough points for 3, my wife has enough for at least 1 person. Rather than having to wait for who knows how long on hold, am I better off booking all of those seats now and staying on hold to merge everything into one reservation or am I better of waiting on hold to talk to someone and do it at the beginning of the process?

Thanks!

You cannot "merge" separate bookings after the fact. (At best, an agent might put a note in one or both reservations, but this does not link them, and in no way changes their status as separate, individual and unrelated bookings. Any such note may never be seen by anyone)

If you want to have all 4 tickets on the same reservation/PNR, then just create a Flying Blue family account, pool the miles in the family head's account, and book all 4 people in one go from the family head's account.

Thank you! I had not explored the family option which I should have! Setting it up now.
