See what they suggest, mention you are travelling with a toddler.If MH pulls out of PER there is absolutely no guarantee that QF will simply create award seats for you to get home another way. The alternative flights could be full, or could have a list of top-tiers waiting to get on.If you were flying on a Qantas operated flight award and Qantas cancelled I'd expect them to create seats for you, but the same expectation can't be there for partner airlines.The issue with delays exLHR is not so much that *you* are early, it could be that others aren't. Read a couple of trip reports lately where delays of 30-60 minutes are happening because of all the document checks. Hopefully that will be ironed out at some stage.</blockquote>
