Award travel booking question
Just booked two saver award tickets online: one for me and for my partner who has a different last name.
Normally, when I book tickets for my partner using miles, I have to sign a bluey at the airport. Do I need to do that in this case, or is it okay because we are traveling together?
FWIW, miles for both tickets were deducted from my account.
Thanks.

I always thought if it was done online that was good enough and a bluey was not necessary. If done via the phone then even when I traveled with a friend I had to do a mileage plus signature if memory serves me correctly. At any rate since you are flying together you should be fine.

I just booked family travel and my spouse has a different last name. The agent said I might have some problems but since my spouse has an active MP account that shows the same mailing address as I have she said that things should go fine.
