Any recent experience with this? Me & wife are Silver but traveling with 2.5 year. Are such toddlers even allowed to earn miles & status? I recall when our daughter was infant, it was not possible.

Children can be enrolled as Skysurfers and earn miles and status miles aged 2+ years. You can link them to a regular Skywards account and keep track.

Yeah, the skysurfers concept is BS. Why can't I be a full member when the full fare is paid. EY makes me a full member and so I am loyal to them, but the EK J experience is more consistent and superior accross the board and if EK is cheaper I will not give a rats ... about loyalty and just enjoy the savings. Also, let me be a platinum member EK.

In all seriousness EK is losing business, however minute and insignificant this segment of travellers (including myself) is. I fly J primarily with some F booked and travel a lot more than your average kid, so yeah.

Great, I will do that. However it also means that children below 3 are unlikely to have Silver status, so the official lounge access policy treating children as adult guests does not make sense, right?

You're forgetting that this 14-year-old is home schooled, invests in the stock market, and flies alone every other week in J (self-financed), and has expertly developed his knowledge in champagne offerings throughout different airlines.

My favourite is actually JW blue label scotch (taste-wise) but I can't really and don't drink in public and even in private. I may taste a little but never actually drink.
