I am traveling to New Zealand from London this Christmas with my (at time of travel) 6 month old son and was wondering exactly the same thing - thank you for all your suggestions. I have heard very positive feedback on Cathay Pacific and when I spoke to them they could not have been more enthusiastic and helpful about traveling with children - but, I will now also get a quote from Singapore on these recommendations.
Has anyone flown with children using Cathay Pacific and what was your experience?
