Best FFP for awards with children?
 

LH allow you to purchase an award for a child (under 12) at 75% of the normal cost.
Do any other FFP have any special deals when a child is travelling with parents on an award?

I know DL and AA don't.

I wouldn't be surprised that there may be some other children's special awards. I haven't run across any.

check out the travelling with children forum
 

BA lets you buy infant seats at 10% of the miles + (all of?) the taxes, which is a good deal if you are redeeming for premium cabin.
But according to a rep i spoke with, only if the adults are travelling on award tickets, and th einfant ticket is purchased at the same time.

Finnair (AY) gives junior (<18) award at 50% of adult awards. AY is a OneWorld airline. I've found their jr award to be one of the best usage e.g. intra-European r/t flight for 20.000 points. NB the AY system is based on km's not miles, so 20k points are just 12,5k miles.
For 1 r/t intercontinental (+feeder flights) in C you bag about 3 junior rewards in Y

You must enroll the kids first to Finnair Plus Junior.

Kids can flight also alone, no need for the member to fly with them.

Does it really matter?
 

Assuming that you have a spouse and two children and you want to fly together (and assuming your children are of school age).....

1. You will need 4 tickets per leg of your frequent flyer trip.
2. Your trips will be during summer and holidays (high demand time).
3. Very few airlines/flights have four frequent flyer tickets per leg.

Conclusion, you will likely be unable to obtain four frequent flyer tickets at any time you may want them. Therefore, it does not matter what airline offers discount FF tix to children.

On a positive note, I have obtained five (5) FF international, saver economy tickets on American. But this was for March to a non-vacation destination.

I succeeded to book 5 J-awards on KL in holidayseason to a holiday destination ( AMS-CUR ). In fact, this summer are awards available for many dates to some destination, even up to 9 (!!!) J-awards. Ofcourse Y is available also in big numbers. But then, it's the first year I noticed this.

But for the OP: KL and AF asks 100% of the miles for kids.
