No bassinet in F 747-8i
Hi, looking to potentially fly KE for the first time in 2020 or 2021. Will be an award ticket and looking at either F or J and naturally would love to fly F on the 747-8. However, we’ve got a baby on the way and he is planned to go on this trip. Based on my research, looks like the 747-8 in F nor J has bassinets. Can someone confirm if they have experienced otherwise? For the A380, I see bassinets for J but not F again. Can someone confirm if they’ve experienced otherwise and have seen a bassinet in F on the A380? Thanks in advance!

You can confirm this with KE but I do not believe the 747-8i F or J seats are Bassinet designed. The Economy bulkhead seats are the primary options for bassinets.
Also be aware with KE awards an infant is charged 10% of the revenue ticket cost to take a look at that.

Nope, it's standard that lap kids are charged 10% of the fare for the cabin (although whether it's the cheapest fare at the time or ticketing or the cheapest FULL fare is YMMV) plus 100% of the applicable fees and taxes on any international flight/itinerary. This includes upgrades and awasrd tickets, although a few carriers permit payment in miles for lap infants.
