GGL Joker - Extra passenger on return leg
Good morning everyone
We're going out to ORD in May for my daughter's graduation. I anticipate having to use a joker to get seats. There will be three of us outbound but she's coming back with us. Is it possible to book 3 out 4 back using a single joker?

Slightly unrelated question. Say there are 4 people on a PNR whose seats are released by joker, can each person’s ticket be individually be settled differently? Say all persons travel CW but 1 person full revenue CW + 1 person revenue premium economy upgraded to CW using GUF1 + 1 person revenue prem econ upgraded to CW using Avios + 1 person pure Avios redemption for CW?

Indeed. No to both of the above, and before someone asks, no it is not possible book as one, then split the booking whilst keeping the benefit of the joker for all, ie if you do that the split booking will lose the benefit of the joker immediately and be downgraded or unbooked as the case may be. Thus, the two scenarii above made originally or split, will require the use of two (and in the second case potentially 3) jokers.

I only ask since a similar question popped up on here a few backs regarding a GUF2 being split - and in the case that I have done it, both passengers retained their upgrades whilst my return was changed (with correct change fees) to another date. I do not know if BA IT is smart enough to recognise a jokered booking if a ticketing agent was to split them apart. Happy to hear you experiences on the joker topic

Are you really sure on this?
