Hi guys.
I've got 130,000 skywards points. Need a break as not had one all this year so thinking 6 nights in Dubai week after next. Now I want to use the points to upgrade me, my wife and my 2 year old daughter from economy to business.

I looked at skywards and for flex ticket its 25,000 points one way to upgrade. But is it the same for a 2 year old?

Also can I upgrade using my skywards account my wife and daughter?

Any advice welcome

Thanks

Yep I am gold. For a 2 year old it's a 75% ticket.

Will try skywards tomorrow

Good luck with a 2 year old in Business, you wont be very popular
Done business class with her last year to Dubai when she was one. Generally people are ok with. You get the odd miserable git.

I see your emirates traveller aswell, was saving my points for first class via a380 out of manchester next year. I fly 4-5 times a year to the far east on business. Usually fly from Birmingham on the 777 300ER which absolutely crap in business class and has no first class.

I see what skywards say but you are right 3 reward tickets not going to be easy. Might just end up buying a ticket for the wife and child in biz and upgrade myself from economy.

Booking them as flex economy tickets then trying to upgrading using skywards. That was the idea.

Should be 25,000miles each way for each person. Child I'm not sure yet until I speak to skywards
