Some of the information is off, but a good start.
+1, KE is only 10%.

The only thing I learnt from that was OZ won't let an infant in F cabin.

I was going to switch to that on my last trip.

Probably.

He did say something along the lines of "it being a work in progress", but he should have made sure the inforation was correct on whatever he posted.

Whats the best way to coordinate seating with a lap infant in business class?  Try to hope for an empty seat?  Anything they sell that can be put inbetween 2 seats to work as a bed for baby?

If you already booked why dont you give it a try? Call them. But i don't give to many chances they wouldn't charge 10% off the taxes and points.

Whats the policy with flying on Air Berlin with Avios regarding infant travel?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
