[Poll] Award Discounts For Kids?
« on: April 11, 2022, 03:20:50 PM »
TIL that AF/KL Flying Blue has a 25% mileage discount for kids 2-11.
Did you know that or have I been living under a rock?

Do any other airlines offer mileage discounts for kids?
ETA: Poll added.

Interesting, check the rate now and see how it compares?
Is this new?

I'm seeing the discount on AF/KL and partners.
Did you select the kids option when you booked? Route/rate then and now?

For whoever voted that they knew about this. How long has this been the case for?

I just searched now and if i cancel and rebook i see the kids rate, but i got the cheapest (saver?) Rate and now the price is more than double even with the discount....

Any chance i can call them and see if they can apply the kids rate to my current flights without canceling?

Very interesting, and I've booked multiple great business redemptions on the TLV-NYC route in the recent past with much success.

But recently, the pricing had been nothing less than demented for those redemptions (6-7 figure mileage requirements one way).

My most recent redemptions on the route have been with the programs of AC, TK, and LF.
