traveling with children

Hi there, I'm new here but have seen lots of helpful advice as a viewer. Hoping someone may be able to help with my situation! I'm trying to: Pre-book seats for my family, including purchasing a bassinet seat on Qantas flights. But: The flights were booked through American Airlines, so I...

Hi, I'm a VA gold and I will be travelling BNE-SIN return on SQ with my partner and a 5 year old child. The VA website states that I'm allowed 1 guest (inclusive of children). My partner doesn't have any status. What is recent your experience of travelling with children? Are the lounge staff...

Hello, We have our first o/s trip with our 7-month-old coming up. Flying QF25/26 in J and have some questions about the bassinets. In the few pictures I can find, the Qantas J bassinets look somewhat like torture chambers! We have a dream baby who is a great sleeper however I am wondering if...

Hi All I was reading the rules regarding guests in the J lounge for Singapore. Just wondering if you can bring a child (9years old) into the lounge? The child is flying economy with another sibling on the same flights. Thanks

Hi All I am flying Jetstar tomorrow (11th July) for the first time in probably 6 years. So i did the online check in. First I tried to use the mobile app, but it said I couldn't do it. So I went to the website on my phone and was able to check in. They were asking me to select seats and...

Please don't judge me but looking for some thoughts. Travel has opened up again but finances are not what they used to be so need to restrict travel to 2 trips to Thailand a year. The plan is the trips will be 3-4 weeks duration to maximise time spent holidaying but for the next 3-4 years that...

On SIA it's not possible when redeeming a flight to add a baby (0-2 years old) to the booking. I've read elsewhere that it's possible to call them up and they'll add the baby to the booking for 10% of the ticket price (presumably in $$ rather than points). Does anyone here have any experience...

Whilst I don’t object to kids being in lounges, it would be nice to see a kids area, where kids are able to play and run around, whilst parents ignore any disruptive behaviour, and the rest of us can relax and work. Over recent weeks each time I’ve been in the VA lounge, there have been many...

Hi all, I've read some old posts on here and trying to avoid calling in if I can...is it correct that I won't be able to tell if there is in fact a bassinet on my flight by looking at the seating legend online? Looking at SYD-SFO in August (QF73&QF74) and first time travelling with bubs so...

I had to renew my passport last month, it was a quick and easy process. I looked at my eldest child's (she's 6) yesterday and noticed hers is due in June, so got some photos done and went online and see that you can't renew it like an Adult one. Why? It's the entire process we had to do when we...

Hi, I have purchased tickets domestic tickets for my wife and 2 children PER-BNE. As I will not be flying there will be no lounge access however I have 2 x Complimentary Lounge Invitations linked to my account. I would like to use one each way for my wife and hoping kids will be allowed...

Hi all, when selecting 3 adults and 1 child, when making a points booking today, it kept bringing up 4 adult tickets once I selected the reward tickets. I thought I was going crazy and would lose the tickets when restarting the search again with 3 adults and 1 child a few times, however the...

It's not quite clear from KF website if children award redemptions are same as adult? For SQ partners it is clear, but assume for children under 12 (10 y/o), they are treated as adults for points redemptions?

Hi everyone I tried to answer my question using both, the QF website and the EK website, but I did not find an answer and call center waiting times are stellar again. Question is: If I have enough QFF points to redeem a return ticket on Emirates metal to Europe for myself but not enough to...

I'm looking at a booking in J (Delta One), one-way DUB-xJFK-DEN with two adults and two kids (10 and 8, so not lap infants). The fare conditions say that a child fare is available at 75% the base fare, which is pretty standard for international bookings where child discounts are available. Of...

Start by inviting your child to talk about the issue. Find out how much they already know and follow their lead. If they are particularly young and haven’t already heard about the outbreak, you may not need to raise the issue – just take the chance to remind them about good hygiene practices...

Just seeing if anyone knows how to book my child and myself on separate bookings? Have a virgin flight credit to use, but not enough for my child also, so want to fly together with my child booked on an award booking, me booked using virgin travel bank?

Hello, my children have points expiring in June, but not enough to do a family transfer. What activity can I do to stop them expiring? Res Plan surveys have to be 18+ and seems similar with most things my FF is linked to. Thanks.

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone knows the easiest way of booking a child as infant on a reward seat....I rang Qantas and got the overseas call centre who told me it's impossible to book someone under 2 their own seat on any ticket let alone a reward (know this info is untrue for paid...

Hello, Got some mates from regional WA who were on holidays over east and got stuck due to Covid for the last 3 months :( During this time they had a toddler turn 2. Flight prices are now double the price of the tickets they had to return previously (adding in the extra ticket for a 2YO...
