[QUOTE=vintagepilot;34823898]I think the point of the original question is that you get perks (eg seat selection) based on the status of those travelling - not on the status of your mum who provided the points.[/QUOT

yes that’s what I was wondering and what I thought. So probably 7 days before. Tempted to do WTP as we are used to Y and W since having second child as takes way too many miles or cash to pay for 4 J seats but we would of just got off another 8 hour flight from the Middle East (potentially in J, gotta love EK old J seats for families!) and the space might be more comfortable.
