Apr 19, 2023Hi All,
I called up VS 3 times and I have different answers so I thought I would ask here.
Has anyone travelled with VS using miles with a yet to be 2 year old on the outbound and a 2 year old on the inbound?
I understand on the outbound it would be a lapchild and therefore 10% of the miles required. However I know that BA gives a seat at the same 10% infant rate on the return leg if the infant is already 2 years old on the return.
Can someone confirm if this is the same for VS?
Legs will be SYD-HKG-SYD on Upper Class.
Cheers,
K.

Should be ok
CAA regulations are quite clear that once a child reaches two, it requires its own seat. AFAIK VS follow CAA regulations.

Presumably you will be able to do an infant redemption on the outbound... but when you return as the little one will now be 2 you will need to do a child redemption as they will require their own seat.

No one on this forum has done such a booking? I called VS one say yes and one say no. So not sure who to believe. And for BA I know that they provide the inbound seat at the infant rate....So not sure if VS follows BA.
#6
I called up again asking them to check with their superiors and they have confirmed as long there is a G seat available for redemption on the inbound they will provide a seat. So total will still only be 10% of required adult miles + taxes.... So looks like they follow BA...

Yes I can confirm this is true!
If A to B child is less than 2 = 10 % of miles
If B to A child turns 2+ = 10% of miles provided both legs are on the same ticket
I have just done this on BA and also on Virgin.
it doesnt apply on Qantas or AA.
Good Luck

Hi Rich,
Which route were you flying on Virgin? Also I take it on the outbound it was a lap child while on the inbound they were provided their own seat?
Thanks,

I have done this. No one blinks an eye.
The key date is the OUTBOUND.
