Is this possible? [two passengers with differing itineraries in one booking]
I wondered if the knowledge of FT would be able to tell me if this is possible:
For example, I am looking to book a long haul from LHR for two (MFU from WT+ to CW), however one needs to connect to LHR from MAN.
So one person needs MAN-LHR-xxx and the other just needs LHR-xxx
The person needing just LHR-xxx is Blue and therefore I want to book it using my account (Silver) so we can pre-select the seats etc. I would also like to ensure that the MAN-LHR legs earn 20TP as they do when combined with LH CW journey.
If I were to phone the Silver line, would they be able to do this or does it have to be a separate booking?
Thanks in advance.

Has to be a separate booking.
I am in this situation when I travel with a friend - me from MAN and my friend from GLA.
We just meet at LHR after booking separate domestic sectors. At check in for both of us (at GLA and MAN) we can check our luggage through to our long haul flight.

Yes, I book separate domestic connections, for example:
Ticket 1: LHR-XXX-LHR - WT+ to CW MFU x2 pax
Ticket 2: MAN-LHR-MAN - x1 pax (me)
Ticket 3: GLA-LHR-GLA - x1 pax (my friend)
This way I can assign seats based on my status on the longhaul and also my MAN rotation.
Yes, I "lose" 10 TPs each way on my domestic if I had booked MAN-LHR-XXX-LHR-MAN (WT+ to CW MFU), but its only 10 TPs which are very easy to come by anyway.
