checking in for two seats on same flight

[milehighj]

Hi all,

I'm wondering...

Suppose I travel with a friend on a Q-class GV2 fare from SIN-BKK-SIN.

When in Bangkok, I then purchase a C-class ticket BKK-SIN-SYD, with BKK-SIN on the same flight as my return Q-class ticket.

Any problems to check-in for both seats - one in economy and one in business?

Thanks in advance.

It's a dupe. Can't be done. The manifest will also read +1 when boarding, headcount one less.

I asked about this before

Hmm, thanks, tho not what I wanted to hear.

So even in the same class of service? One can't buy 2 Y seats for the additional comfort?

You could probably do it for the purpose of carrying a musical instrument. The airline will not try to assess the value of the musical instrument. It just has to look plausible. Of course, you probably won't earn miles for the second seat. Also, musical instruments occupying passenger seats are required to be in window seats so as to not impair evacuation.

I don't know about SQ but you can do this on BA:

3. Diplomatic baggage – The customer is carrying Diplomatic baggage that needs to be accommodated in the cabin. Booking Keyword DIPB
