In June i have a trip with 3 NBs, all on same PNR booked by me a WP. It will be interesting to see if we can board together.

2/3 of them are hopeless with technology if not same boarding group (I usually have their BPs on my phone) then I am going to have to insist the lounge print BPs for them so i can board first to get bin space.

I know Mrs Beano (NB) can board with me in Group 1. Sometimes if you are on the same PNR the other parties are also in the same Group. Perhaps others have more experience with this.

It's been consistent(!) for me that being on the same booking gives them group 1 also - as advertised when they started group boarding.
On the one occasion where we we on separate bookings, it was "linked" in the lounge and a refresh later provided the bump from group 6 to 1.

Slightly off topic but related - I recently boarded JL507 in HND bound for CTS with Mr Sest 0A on the same PNR. Both travelling business. I’m OWE (QF WP) while he is only LTG. Groups were called to board one by one. I was Group 1 he was Group 2 and it was enforced thst he could not board with me. I went ahead in my group because I wanted to be sure of getting luggage space in the overhead locker as many Japanese travel HLO.

We were allowed to board QF 25 together departing SYD ( both allocated Group 1 on our BP).

Interesting. Last year I was BA gold and Mrsdrron LTG on QF. On our 12 JL flights taken since she dropped to LTG, including HND-CTS-HND in J, she was always in group 1 with me.
