Managed to book the family 2 adults and 2 kids to Rome on Cathay using QFF points for next June. No availability showing anywhere near return dates - despite being Platinum and supposedly with priority. Anyways, I'm resigned to buying a 1-way home, from either Rome or Milan on either Emirates or Etihad probably since they have good value 1-way fares (unlike Cathay). Was thinking to break the journey in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Any one with experience of stopping in either with small kids that could help me choose - and identify places to stay or things to do...? Thanks in advance, Steve
