My daugther has just won a kids competition and the prize includes a trip for 2 adults and three children to see Santa in Lapland. Among other things the trip includes return economy flights from Sydney to Helsinki (via Bangkok?) flying Qantas and Finnair and a packaged sightseeing trip which includes return flights to Lapland flying finnair (Hel - Rovaniemi-Hel).
I am not a member of any FF prgram and do not regularly fly.
I have some questions...
Qantas FF membership
1. If I became a member of the Qantas FF program would I get credit for ALL the mileage associated with ALL these flights?
2. Would each traveller have to be a Qantas FF member or just mum and/or dad? My kids are 4, 6, and 10 years old?
3. If FF points could be accumulated, any idea about how many points would be accumulated and the redemption value of these points in terms of Award flights?
4. What is the cost of becoming a FF member?
Qantas club membership
I've had a quick look at the flights schedules and it appears that the connections would see us at the various airports at odd times (eg. late night/very early hours of the morning connections) and sometimes more than 3 hours between connecting flights. This is a bit tough with three young children.
5. Would it be worthwhile becoming a member of QantasClub to get access to their lounges at these airports?
6. What is the cost of this membership and would it include all my family?
Finnair side trip
7. A travel agent friend told me that Finnair is one of a number of European carriers who offer a "free" return side trip to many destinations in Europe as long as it originates from their Helsinki hub. Is this correct?
I would apprecaite any help you can offer in answering my questions.
