Thanks for the tip! VS charges a child fare on the way back. I never considered BA before, but I can fly BA in Club World for the price I would pay for 2 PE seats on VS....which is loads cheaper than EK, since EK is making me pay a one way fare for each of us.
Has anyone attempted this on BA before? Flying out with infant/back with with child? I called two different numbers (UAE and UK) and both said that I should just book him as an infant throughout and call at least a week before the return to secure a seat for him. Just seems kind of, I don't know, shady. Essentially, I'm getting a one way Club World ticket for free. I'm skeptical, I guess.
