I'm trying to use a companion voucher for award flights EDI-LHR-NYC-LHR-EDI. There are a couple of problems for my dates;-
1. I'd prefer F on the TATLs but have found an acceptable out in J to JFK and return in F from EWR, I think that this, in itself, won't be a problem.
2. There is a good connect from EDI available on the outbound but a 6.5 hour connect on the inbound. From previous TATL experience this is just too long - we will both be knackered! We need a quicker connection. Can I use Priority Reward (OK at a cost of 9,000 miles per head plus "taxes") to combine with the companion voucher, to book an earlier connection (there is one with 1.5 hours)? If so will the bookings be on separate PNRs and will this interfere with;
a) Using the companion voucher.
b) Checking luggage right through EWR-LHR-EDI
