I think AC charges $100 but it must be done through CO which I think was also going to charge $100 for the one way. I can't do it yet since the baby has no name but I successfully got the bassinet seat 2 months ago even though there was no infant on the reservation. Creative thinking :)
I think they can sell you a ticket even with no name.  Can anyone else confirm?

CO and AC both didn't allow adding an infant if there was no DOB or name. Dan c'mon...that FT thread was from 6 years ago when things were different. Now if there's no gender and DOB they don't allow it. But like I said, I got AC to confirm the bassinet for me :)

How do you guys do it? 
Or are you just immune to all the dirty looks you must get when everyone is staring at you when your kid cries?
Do you typically fly in Y, J, or F?

Oh and to add to my record. My kid(s) have yet to see peasant class yet! B'H they are well behaved so we don't have to worry about dirty looks. Oh and Uncle Moishe and an Ipad do wonders!

My first flight with my kid will be in Y. Which is my first intl flight in Y in the last 5 years! It's just that AC rarely opens C seats on the TLV-YYZ flights and I don't want with a 3 week old to do something like TLV-FRA-YYZ. Oh well.
How can you start his life that way? He will forever be scarred!

Well, in the stomach he flew around the world in F. We actually might change flights and if we do I'll work on C or F. Anyone know how much extra it'll be in miles? It's the end of a RT on CO way here was BF.

The way I got the bassinet was I called AC. Requested the bulkhead bassinet. As she's typing it she says "hey we can't do this there's no infant on the res." I said "oh, that's because I just got off the phone with CO and they are adding it as we speak." She said "ok I guess I'll do it for you."

I heard one airline said to the passenger to book an unborn child as XXXXX (5x), and later they switch it to whatever name you choose.

My daughter was 2 years old and she was already *A G.
