Thanks all for the replies and suggestions..

I procrastinated in booking these flights and JL and Singapore are out of the picture due to price. I also like the idea of my wife and son being able to have the middle seats so he can be kind of penned in.

For many years I have BA exec club status and an EVA air membership which never really went any where. The flights are 13.3K USD in total for 3 of us using Amex Travel, Any suggestions where would be a good program to try and get some status please?
