Absolute worst case is that you and the second person have two different appointment dates - not the end of the world for the convenience you'll get with GE.

Just tried at SFO to see if they'll take any walk-ins - no chance, only three of them today, interviewing 140 people.
Got here 15 mins before they open and there were 7-8 people already waiting.

Has anyone completed a GE Interview? if so whats it like, is it routine or a grilling?
I have just received my provisional initial approval and I have booked and interview in JFK.
My interview for 1 hour after an AA flight arrival from CLT (T7 I assume) and the interview is in T4, If my flight is very late anyone know if they will still see me or will I need to rebook later?

Why do you think you'll need to make a special trip? Wouldn't you be able to set it up on your next US visit?

Depends if there is a time limit from applying to attending an interview in the US. Currently next US trip is early April. But happy to burn some Avios and a joker if need to go earlier

Currently there are no slots at all in the 3 London sites so you can't book London. I managed to get a slot during an 8 hour stopover in NYC.

'In order to finalize your Global Entry enrollment, you must schedule your Global Entry Interview within 30 days of the date of this letter. You do not have to complete the interview within 30 days'.
You can also change the appointment up to 24 hours before the appointment.

Quite impressed by the efficiency do far - Border Force approval within 24 hours; then GOES conditional approval within 48 hours. Have my interview in London this week, so hopefully all approved for my TP run to HNL at Christmas.

I probably wouldn't chance that. The best bet is to schedule something prior to a departure so you can just arrive early.

When you schedule the interview you will be given the phone number of the local office to call if you have to make changes within 24 hours of the appointment so, assuming that you know about the delay before take off, you should be able to call and discuss the matter.

Just had my conditional approval after 6 days - applied last Monday and received approval this morning (Sunday).
I'm a bit disappointed by the interview availability! I spend a lot of time in Portland but there is zero availability there. I travel to Denver sometimes, but their earliest appointment is in March next year.
I'll be in London over Christmas, but zero availability at any of those locations.
Seattle has availability in February which is a mere 150 mile drive from Portland. I may have to go for that due to lack of other options.
