Heh, maybe fly business/first with the baby. Babies tend to get extra attention from FA’s and wait staff and those lie-flats usually have enough room for the baby to sleep with either one of you.
Hilton and Hyatt typically don’t charge resort fees on award stays. But always good to double-check before you book.
Thank you. I'm trying to plan a vacation
Citi doesn't have a minimum age limit so I added my 3 and 7 year old to my double cash card. I had to call to have their SSN added as Citi didn't ask when I added them.
Either work for CSR and Platinum. And I haven't done precheck in 4 years, but I think you pay online before you get your appoitment. I know you pay for GE right away.
We did precheck last year and my ds just did his. We paid at the appt.
You should be fine to add your other child. I have both of my kids as AUs on the same cards.
That’s another thing I think about. Who knows it that virgin-ANA redemption will even be available then. I guess I like having the points “in case” because it’s definitely our goal to go back
That’s a good point to have a back up. Dh and I are both above 5/24. I’m 6/24 and he’s 7/24. I have two dropping off in March. We haven’t done a ton with amex because of the popup but we did recently get cards with them. We’ve been using the 20x on Amazon a lot. I think Dh has been using those points for gcs thoughYou can transfer the ur to virgin and then book ana.
@Haley R if you don't think you can get enough ur or mr in the next year and a half I'd wait. If you go when he's 4 you'll be booking when he's 3 and that's not that far off. He's almost 2. So you are getting to the point if you want to go then, that you need to start figuring out how you'll get the points .
I'd lay out the timeline for him and try and figure out when you'd want to go. Then you've got to see when either/both of you will be under 5/24 and potentially get chase biz cards. That will be hoe you can answer the question.
Also consider we don't know Ana through Virgin will still be a thing so you may want to try for mr instead since they also transfer to virgin but do others.
Then if virgin is still a transfer you can also look at citi cards and their thank you points but they can be inquiry sensitive
But that far out once you have a timeline and a plan a I'd come up with at least a b if not also a c like @calypso always talks about
I’ll have to talk to him and see how he feels. My goal was to go when Ds is 4 or maybe even 5 because it’s such a long flight
fly bigger planes...
had to gate check once on delta, our luggage are usually fine on B737/A319 but we were on a commuter(E175). gate checked... well we still had to take it out to the front of the plane though lol.

That’s true. It’s very possible we might go before he’s that age. I honestly would love to go sooner than him being 5 if he’s able to handle the plane ride and things are more normal
