Use the app and select seats next to them

Oh... wow. And what's an "app"?

Just ask…

Can you buy tickets then only expense your own

Company buys for employees.

Buy their tickets at the same time you buy yours. Select seats in the same row.

That's the only way I've figured this can be done. And hoping that seats around me are still available by the time I'm given the reservation by the travel team.

So apparently companies pay their employees. Use that money you got and buy tickets and pay for the seats you want. No, your firm won’t pay for your family.

The travel teams holds the tickets until we're about 12 days from travel date (don't ask why, dunno). Which lowers my chances of getting seats next to each other.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
