Useful to know that this is possible. When I tried, the agents I spoke to understood what I wanted to do and why it should be possible, but the option was not available on their system to release seats for the flights. This couldn't be overridden by a supervisor either. I think I tried this very early on after the Titan flights were scheduled, so perhaps there's been learning since (or perhaps the GGL line has superior powers which the Gold line does not have!). Either way, thanks for the update.

Was this over the phone? I haven't been able to book V class on Comair back in June 2017, never tried before then.
I'm not sure what the current situation is, though - I haven't looked for a while.

Interestingly, baredemptionfinder.com says that there is availability to a Gold but not a Blue that day. So this aspect of the website appears to look only at the V class figure, and does not apply any of the further conditions that BA itself seems to.
