Apologies for missing some key info. We typically fly short-medium haul flights i.e. Turkey, Egypt, Portugal or Middle East (UAE, Qatar). That will probably continue in the main. As the kids get older (10, 7 and 3 right now) I can see us going longer haul to Malaysia, Singapore etc.

In terms of cabin, it’s always Economy and I think for the short-medium haul flights I’m good with that in return for making savings. Maybe on a longer haul flight to the far east in future or for one of our trips to Middle East, it would be nice to go in upgraded cabin.

Travel dates will always have to be during school holidays so yes, restricted to those windows.

And in terms of spending, I got my wife a companion Amex Gold card when we had that and in total we put over £25k on that in 12 months.

Hopefully that helps?
