Back in October I booked some flights for (now-)mrsdoctau and I for the start of July in mixed Y/J, and since we were getting married before then used my surname which she's taking. That turns out to have been a stupid thing to do because, as I've now found out, three months isn't apparently enough time to get passports changed - Births, Deaths and Marriages haven't even gotten our marriage certificate to us seven weeks later. Being a month out with little chance of having it done, I'm in the process of changing passenger names.
I talked to Qantas and they were quite helpful, despite the fact it's made complex by being a mix of QF, QF codeshare on EK, and MH flights. To do it, they've split the PNR and I'm wondering how that's going to affect an upgrade request.
From what I read, we'd then be considered for upgrades separately (me as SG and her as NB) on the QF Y segment. I don't think mrsdoctau would be very happy with us split between two cabin (even if she somehow got one and I didn't). If one of us got an upgrade and the other didn't, can you reject it or is it too late at that point?
Maybe the best idea would be to check the J cabin load a few days before, and cancel the requests if it's unlikely we'd both get upgraded.
