Had a somewhat related question
Upon further reading, I see children age 2-11 only accumulate 75% of miles flown.
However, they also only need 75% of miles for award tickets.
So it makes sense to me to get the most value out of the family plan is to fly Asiana or any Asiana partner (UA, for example) and credit the parents miles Asiana and the Childrens miles to non-Asiana (in this example, UA)
Then use the family plan to pool the miles (taken from the adults since kids will be accruing all their miles with UA) and issue an award ticket for 75% of the miles.
Seems like this is a way to get an award ticket on any *A carrier or Asiana partner for kids for 75% of the miles
Am I missing something? Do the kids have to have ANY miles in their account? (what if they have 0 miles. can they borrow all the miles from a family member as long as they are enrolled in the family plan?)
