Picking up infant during stopover flight is it a problem?
« on: February 05, 2012, 03:02:32 PM »
I want to fly from MIA to LGA with a stop over in CLE.
In CLE I want to pick up my daughter that will be there.

Will it be a problem for her to fly with me the 2nd Lag of the flight? - since she wont be on the flight with me from MIA-CLE

Thanx

No, as infants need tickets for flights outside the US.

yup
But you still need to include the infant on the ticket.  You'll still get through but it'll be a hassle IME.
If you don't care why would you comment?

What's the hassle?  You go to checkin and get a free infant boarding pass.

I once got there without a note on my reservation that I had an infant and the woman at the jetblue counter gave us a hassle. No problem just an annoyance.

And then you'll pay 10% of the full walk-up Y fare, but sure, it should be doable.

You sure about that?  If I'm flying CDG-FRA-TLV you can pay for the infant on just FRA-TLV?
