Questions about infants on ElAL deal
« on: August 07, 2012, 04:47:27 PM »
First time poster, long time lurker here. Not sure how else to say it but to blurt it out like that. My question: During yesterday's ELAL deal, when I searched for adult tickets only the low $337 fare was returned in the search. However, when I included two infants <2 the lowest fare returned was for over $800, even if I put in that I was looking for separate seats for them. Anyone know why that is? And what would happen if I booked an adult seat for an infant? Would ELAL not honor the ticket?

I always do.

Re: nikone
I thought so at first, but then I tried closing the window, re-opening the site and searching again. I got the same results. Searching for only adult fares returned cheap fares and adding the infants returned $800.00 fares. Now that I'm typing this, I'm thinking that perhaps they set aside a limit on the amount of infants per flight, even if those infants are paying for a seat? Is this possible?

RE: Dan

Thanks for the reply. Now I feel bad that I didn't book the adult fares for my kids. I wish I had known. Why do you always book an adult fare for Rafi? Any reason?

Is it not obvious from your post?

 ;) I guess it is. I just wasn't sure if this happens often or not.
