Gold Guest List reward joker
Hi
It looks like this year I have enough trip planned (3 world tours) to reach GGL status and am considering doing so vs. using also Star Alliance flights.
The trick that would really kick in is the added reward capabilites.
What do the 2 jokers really mean?
With 1 joker can you
book RETURN tickets in CW with miles to any destination (provided there is paid availability) for 5 people?
Can I use a companion voucher?
Can I book partially in miles, partially paying a fare and using Gold upgrades for 2?
Thanks so much

I'm sure someone else with GGL will be along to clarify this further.

As I understand it, the joker opens up availability on any flight in any cabin unless someone else has already played their joker for that flight and cabin. It doesn't matter how you end up getting the ticket for that cabin.

Have a read of the Dashboard. It opens up seats if
* The relevant fare class is available from the UK Point of Sale (A for F, D for Club etc)
* No-one else has jokered on that flight
* Up to 5 people
* Can use companion voucher, MFU etc
* No idea how much you can combine
* The relevant fare class is available from the UK Point of Sale (A for F, D for Club etc)
* No-one else has jokered on that flight
* Up to 5 people

Last few times I intended to use the joker it turned out there was availability anyway! Also bear in mind a flight with general availability is also less likely to be rammed, so that has merit.
