Future planning.

Hello there.

I have promised my Nephew he can go to Disney again next year. Pref from Manchester.

My question is or are.

Can I buy two adult PE tickets and upgrade to UCS plus a paid child UCS

If so on average how much is an upgradeable PE fare.

Also can I bag two reward UCS tickets and buy one Child UCS.

Or any other suggestions appreciated

Planning a trip for the summer with the family, i was planning on buying Ls to upgrade for the adults but was unsure what to do with the sprog? I could do the same but wasnt sure if buying the ticket on miles would be better as i wont get any miles back from the child flight (unless i add sibling to my Family account?)

EGG - if it were me id be calling FC and requesting the price and availibility of S fares (or even L) around the time you want to go and upgrade those for the adults - more miles and tier points

When junior was a sprog[:0](under 12)we always paid cash as the tickets were generally reasonable. Now she is treated as an adult( and behaves much better than her parents:D) we usually pay for her ticket with miles and buy ours to earn miles and keep status.

Have been looking at MAN-MCO flights myself recently. The lowest upgradable S fares start around £797 Nov-Mar then rise to £952 mid season and £1150 at peak (Aug/School hols). For the corresponding times Z fares start at £1129 then £1351 up to £1529. The PE to UC upgrade will cost 40k miles, but you'll only get PE mileage and TP's so a cheap Z might work out better value. I think children under 12 pay around 75% of the adult fare. Also look out for MPM fares, we managed to find a good value child's MPM fare in UC last year.

Good luck!

LMFAO at you chucklemonkeys!!

I actually have a sibling that requires transporting in PE/Upper later in the year ... but if Richard and i could get flights on Child rates ... oh you guys would be laughing on the other sides of your faces!!

Just to add to the questions already asked can one of you well informed chaps/ladys tell me the average price for PE (W or S) to be used with a companion ticket to LA or Vegas.

Depends on the time of the year,LA will be cheaper than Vegas...where's Paul with his all knowing expert flyer thingy.
