Does BA charge 10% miles premium for domestic flights on American?  My wife got charged that but I thought it was only for INTL.  Is there anyway around it (ie by calling American and adding baby later?) Thanks

On the phone they told me its only free for lap child but car seat would be full fare. Does rep know what the heck shes talking about?

According to SW website
Quote
Southwest Airlines offers very affordable Infant fares for children under two years of age that allow you to reserve a seat for your little traveler to fly safely in his/her approved CRS. Infant fares are not available for purchase on southwest.com. Please contact a Customer Representative at 1 (800) 435-9792 for more information.

This is if you want to just pay for a seat.

I called them up and the infant fare is 10% off the standard fare (not the wanna get away fare).

Does UA charge for lap infant (economy/domestic)? Rather not wait for airport to avoid any last minute issues. Have both award ad paid tickets - if not free, which is best? Thanks!

Edit: forget it found it on UA website. Domestic lap infants are free.

Technically need to pay i believe. Though when using BA and/or flying on AA, you can add infant at airport. CMIIW.

When booking through Avios and adding infant online, it will charge you money. I guess if you are adding in the airport, you will be fine.

You can add at airport, but I would call to add to avoid problems.

Flying Domestic award on AA (+US) coach. bringing along Lap Child (prob without car seat- it's a daytime flight)
would a lounge agent be able to place me next to an unbooked seat, so kid can sit (not during takeoff/landing)?
would the same thing let me bring a car seat on?

would a US lounge agent be able to access my AA seats?

TIA

Yes. Assuming there are extra seats.

I was able to bring a car seat on when sitting in the bulkhead, even though there was no extra seat. They made me stow the car seat for takeoff and landing. If you do that, make sure you have bin space right away.
