Still do-able? (Amex reward)

Hi Vflyers
I've done the below twice before but haven't flown since summer 2007
I appreciate I could phone FC but don't want to be on hold ages so hoping you could let me know if the following is achievable -
1) Book 'L' class LHR-SFO return
2) Use Amex companion reward to get 'free' economy return for partner
3) Use my miles to upgrade my L to a G (partner stays in Y - yeah I know!)
Cheers

Yep all that is still possible, providing of course there are companion seats available and then a G for you to upgrade to UC with. As you have already said, your partner will have to stay in Y.

Does your partner know they will be staying in economy and you will be living it up in UC?!

Exactly! If I tried or even dared to think about leaving the current Missus in Y whilst I'm up the front, I don't think she'd be my current anything for much longer!

Hahaha yes it's been done twice before. Harsh but fair - she gets the 'free' Y seat plus Clubhouse use etc. Plus a sleepsuit if I'm feeling generous.

Given the state of some of them I'm not sure that your 'gift' is that generous !

OK just phoned up FC to do this - 30 mins on the phone to be told it's not possible. Can anyone elaborate? Not amused.
Cheers

What reason did they give? I would call the UC reservation number, and just tell them you want to upgrade your L economy fare to UC using miles. Of course, there must be G mileage seats available to do this.
I can't see any reason, apart from no G's available for them to say no.

Thanks Neil, on the phone now - all sorted. Not amused with the previous person I spoke to!
All done now though!

Glad you got it sorted, it is SO frustrating that some of the VS agents don't give the correct information out.
