traveling with children

VA were great when flying with an infant, but I have an OOL-AKL flight with a now 2 yr old (child fare) and the website doesn't mention if the pram is a free checked item?

Hey all, Wanted to share a recent experience I had with Qantas traveling with my almost 3 year old in Y. We did a trip PER-BNE, traveling there on Qantas and returning on Virgin. I normally travel solo or with the wife as I like the quiet / downtime in the air but it was time for a family...

Currently my daughter in law is deliberating changing her surname . However there is a grandchild on the way which will have my Son surname. Next year she is planning on travelling overseas with grand child without husband Is that ever an issue ?

Doing the QF10/95 PER MEL LAX combo shortly. I put child meals in the booking for my two but it says that they aren't available for either flight. Is this the norm being a supper departure? Just the Menu Select options looks a little sophisticated for their palate!

First time in Qantas J for a while. Emirates J - we order the Kids meal to get the kids 'gift bag', but our kids eat from the standard menu. What are the kids meals like on Qantas J? If we order a standard meal, will we still get the kids gift packs?

I'm sure I know the answer but wondering if anyone has any recent experiences. My daughter will be 2 next week and I will take her to Sydney every 2-3 weeks to visit grandparents but her travel won't be booked too far in advance but rather last minute just in case she is not able to travel if...

I've got a TT flight booking (for next July) with NZ, and I have just got an email from them advising of a very minor schedule change (15 mins earlier than the original departure time). For some weird reason, the email says: "We're reminding* you we've had to reschedule your flight(s) below...

Hi Am I able to redeem a Qantas gift voucher for a family for 2adults 3 children? The gift voucher seems to only allow purchase for adults. If I buy a voucher for 5 people, it looks like I will have to pay adult fares for the children? I rang Qantas today and they said you should be able to...

I've just noticed that my latest status credits have been given to me 3 days before my status review which is a shame because I won't be traveling much in the next 12 months so will no doubt slip down to Silver as I can't get enough credits to keep my gold (or go up to Platinum in time) So, I am...

Hi does anyone know exactly where the bassinets are actually placed on the Business Class Seats on A380 with Singapore Airlines. On the map it shows the seats location but not exactly where the Bassinet is placed.

Hi all thought i'd throw together a few photos from our recent RTW trip. SYD-DFW QF J ORD-xFRA-ATH LH F/J LHR-SIN-SYD SQ suites/F plus some food and hotel photos thrown in for good measure

I thought there was some sort of discount on revenue airfares but haven't been paying too much attention until today. I'm looking at a BNE-SIN-HKT//BKK-SIN-BNE airfare for 2 adults and a 2+ year old child and the quoted airfare is $975/person but when going to the total page the total for 3...

soon to be SG, and will be flying myself, wife and kid on CX to/from SYD <=> HKG. under Frequent Flyer - Flying Qantas and Partner Airlines - Status Credits and Tier Benefits - Tier Benefits it is not clear whether three of us will have access to the HKG Qantas lounge because under 1. there are...

I have some QFF points to spend on a holiday with my wife and a 3 years old girl. We want to book either premium economy or business class seats. However, for a 3 years old kid, she really don't need a full flat business seat. Just wondering, can I book 2 business tickets for my wife and me, and...

Flying into SEA on 5th July and there for 6th - 8th with the possibility of extending to 9th (as currently 2 nights planned for Everett 9th and 10th but hoping to only do one). We had a chat with AFF/FT friends on the weekend about things to do there and I have read the previous thread in this...

Hi all, We are travelling to Europe in 3 months flying Emirates business outbound and Ehithad First inbound, both award bookings. Is there any way to guarantee a baby bassinet? I have spoken to Etihad at length and have been informed there is no way to guarantee- this will be determined at...

I am having difficulty getting an answer to this even from the passport help line. We tragically lost our daughter at Christmas time, she was a single mum with a ten year old son. There was never a biological father in my grandsons life, in fact we don't know a single thing about him and his...

not really the appropriate thread but related - does anyone know the bassinet seats in J on QF7 (A380). Flying to DFW in a couple of weeks and really want to make sure we get one!

Just had a look at my KrisFlyer miles and noticed that I’ve accidentally transferred my CC points to my kids Krisflyers account instead. Should I get them transferred across to my account is there a benefit of having the points (50k) in my kids account?

Hi all, I am a fairly energetic supporter of Qantas, but I reject the "fan" tag as I also happily criticize them for things they suck at (like the obscene co-payments required to "redeem a free points ticket") I am more focussed on hard product than staff, as comfort and rest are more...
