I am wondering if it will be the same taxes and fees as adult or much less?
it should be $17.50

Thanks

Just show up at the airport and they’ll add it there.

How much will it cost? When booking, it’s 750 Avios.

AA domestic US booking, infant is free. If you add through BA, they charge their standard 10% of miles.

You can even call AA in advance to add it for free, but might take some HUCA’s.

Anyone here ever add an infant on a Aegean booking? They claim their is no charge besides around $20 in taxes. Does that make sense? Shouldn't it be 10%?

There's a post upthread about someone booking LH F for infant with no cost.

united wants ten percent of the  paid fare on 2 business class reward tickets from munich to lax using mileage plus  how can I avoid that? and how can you book an infant ticket in coach and attaching it to the reservation? by booking a coach ticket for an adult and a separate for the infant and then cancelling the adult ticket and attache the lone infant ticket to the business class reservation ?

Infant in business class needs a business class issued infant ticket.

What about booking your flights with Aeroplan? It will be less miles then United, but possibly more taxes (depending on which airline you’re flying for the Transatlantic flight). And infant fee is only 100 CAD in Business.

thank you but the flight is already booked on United using mileage is there any other way besides having to pay 10% of the fare on United business to pay for an infant?
