Fly drive question
Anyone know if you can do the following?
book BA flight + avis / budget car for some travellers (ie holiday package) - all PAX under 30 years old
book same flight using avios for others but then have one of these (>30) be the lead driver on the car hire
I'm assuming that it's not possible but if anyone has done it successfully please let me know.

So our solution to the problem was to buy a BA holiday (flight plus car) in WT+ and then UUA to J. As many will know on this board this is good for tier points, avios and cashflow and then we were able to buy multiple WT seats to Orlando for just £315 each. To put this into context we remember paying that much for an economy ticket to the same destination in 2001!
We looked at just getting avios J seats but they are not good value for this destination at 137k avios and 700pp taxes and fees, plus the car was 300 more than booking as a fly drive. Hope this helps others...
