traveling with children

I'm currently planning a flight interstate with my 2yo (well, between 2.5-3 if that makes any difference). It's Little Pangwen's first flight, and there is an option to fly J on a QF A330-200. Having not flown with a young child before, I had a few questions: - I know that being over 2yo, a...

I flew Sydney- Dallas and I’m a Platinum member. I booked economy because flights were expensive. I have an infant (didn’t book a ticket as they are under 2). I requested the bassinet seat because although we can book 1 bassinet seat for $80, the seats beside the purple bassinet seats were...

Hi there, Wanting to-do a sanity check. The family and I are flying to Singapore via the QF A330. We have selected the bassinet seat and wanting to know the below questions. Do we need to contact Qantas to know we want to use the bassinet, for them to load anything? Does anyone have an image...

Hi there, Fresh member here. I work in the wine industry and travel a fair bit for my work. Recently swapped primary carrier from QFF to VA and just ticked over to Platinum last week. Nice to be here :) Cheers Tehu

I attempted to redeem points for a Classic reward flight for 3 adults and 1 child from DCA to YYZ on 02Jul25 (Flight # AA5665), however when proceeding to input passenger information, the website needed inputs for 4 adults instead of 3 adults and 1 child as required. When entering my son’s...

TL; DR - why can’t a child sit in the middle seats of an AF Boeing 777 business cabin!? Having a slightly odd interaction with Air France after I booked tickets via QFF CR for my wife and <10yo child. In a couple of days they’re doing long haul J, so I have tried to select their seats as we’d...

I booked flights via Qantas (Adelaide to UK) on Emirates flights. The first flight is QF8441 will I be able to use my complimentary Lounge Pass for this flight, or is it only for QF (no 8) flights?

Hi all - this is an odd one and I expect the answer to be no. But just checking anyway. I want to book a return ticket for my son SIN - SYD. He is under 6 years old. The idea is that on the way SIN - SYD, I fly down with him. But on the way back, SYD - SIN, his mom will accompany him. At the...

Hi All, Has anyone used a car seat for their child on SQ recently (when purchased their own seat, he is over 2 but under 3)? Our little fella is pretty busy, and being able to have him in a seat he uses all the time will be really helpful, plus I think he will sleep better in it. I have...

Hey All, Might be a trap that could only be fixed by calling, detailed below. Was booking an intra-european Virgin Atlantic reward seat on KLM metal in euro- business (9000pts + ~€29) per person for 2 adults and 1x child (>2yrs, in seat). Checked and triple checked seats available before...

I am looking at a holiday with my 3 children (wife will be at home working). She is in a new job and not able to take leave, and it's easier sometimes to entertain the children on a holiday rather than at home. Some Accor properties have a max children per room of 2, despite a room capacity of...

Is $7600 AUD good value to upgrade Emirates Premium Economy to Business, for SYD - LHR, for 3 adults & 1 child? It seems to me to be good value, at least compared to the same upgrade on the return leg (Athens to Sydney) which is over $19K AUD.... These are the prices quoted on the Emirates...

It's been a long time between Luxury Escapes and I need a distraction so I'm starting this thread super early. No sneaky baby announcements this time, but we do now have the two kids instead of just one 😂 This trip has been quite the saga. It started as a 2020 booking at The Westin Hapuna...

Just bought a 10th Gen iPad to keep my 16 month old busy on some very long flights. Looking to get a case for it that can withstand some serious beatings (this boy is nuts) and easy to hold for small hands. There are a number of options on Amazon and they may all be as good as each other. Just...

Hi, my partner and I are expecting our first child in a few months and have tentative plans to visit family in the UK (from Brisbane) around Easter next year. Ideally we will have enough points for two (or is that 2.5) business class reward seats. I hope to have enough points to book flights...

Hi All So I recently saw in a qantas facebook group, a person was complaining that the attendant at a Qantas Club lounge was requesting that her infant needed to have a complementary qantas lounge pass assigned to the child. I saw this and thought that is really stupid, and it is not what I...

So I've done a bit of searching about this, but couldn't find anything specific or recent that addressed it. Lady Lenny and I have been planning to attend my cousins wedding in Brisbane in May, that was meant to be no kids, but she has ended up inviting all 3 of us, which is great!! But it does...

Hi - flying to SYD with ANA next week and looking at whether to pre-purchase seats for the family on what looks like a busy flight (JYN 2,500 each). We have a 11 yr old and a 12 yr old - does anyone know if ANA would seat them with one of the adults, or if they would assign them random seats...

Hi everyone - a bit of a weird one that I could not figure out online as well as call centre waiting times for SQ are shocking. Does anyone have any view or even experience whether a child (paid) can be added to a redemption ticket booked for myself? I have enough KF for my own ticket but not...

I was pondering whether any AFF members had children (under 18) who were Points Club members. Obviously credit card earning is not possible but there are other ways to earn points, with some hard graft, that could potentially mean entry to Points Club. The key benefit I am looking for from it...
