Hi guys
I am tossing up at the moment whether to just purchase using cash economy seats for our family of 3 (+ an infant) or whether I gamble on premium economy reward seats coming up close to departure and book economy reward seats which I then cancel if PE rewards come up (or better yet business). We have not flown international economy in quite a while so would not relish it but what do you guys reckon the likelihood of 3 PE (or Biz) reward seats coming up on the same flight. It would be end of school holidays in Oz (mid-late July to early Aug) but we would not have flexibility with our dates more than a day or 2 each way. I also think flying with kids we would choose economy over an indirect flight (eg. flying via Syd or Melb) but flying in PE. Take the gamble or just resign ourselves to slumming it in economy but at least getting some SC to help my wife retain platinum with pooling
Thanks guys
Josh
