Hi! I’m travelling in December with my husband and a baby who will be around 4 months old. we’ve never travelled with an infant before and I’m a little nervous and want to make it as smooth as possible
We are moving to Dubai so we’ll just need 1 way tickets.
Flight is around 7 hours and these are the pricing options (all in gbp, totals, 1 way)
Economy Flex 1150gbp
Expnomy Flex plus 1850gbp
Premium economy 2400gbp
Business 6500gbp
I’m currently thinking PE as would welcome a little more space, obviously business would be ideal but it does feel expensive for a 7h flight. It’s not out of the realms of what we can afford if you all think it’s the best option, but we aren’t in a financial situation where we can toss 7k a flight without wincing/ thinking about it very carefully.
We would probably need to buy extra baggage anyway - PE gives 35kg each for the adults (not sure what it gives for the infant) but I would probably buy an extra 30 regardless.
I can’t seem to find the prices for extra baggage online, does anyone know how it works? Route is London to dxb.
Looking for advice on cabin class and also if anyone has tips on infant travel or experiences on emirates with infant travel I would be really grateful.
Many thanks in advance!
Edit: just to add, I’ve never travelled PE before, only economy and once business (for business). So if someone thinks the added comfort of PEisn’t worth it over economy then please do let me know!
