need help with lap child awards ticket..
« on: March 18, 2012, 04:11:25 PM »
due to not having enough points in my UA account, i booked my round trip tlv-ewr via 2 one way tickets. now i know that UA charges 10% of the actual flight costs for a lap child. The problem is that UA wants to charge me for the lap child also as 2 one way tickets. They are pricing each ticket at about $1700 making the lap child over $300! I asked how much they would price the round trip, they said $1300 dollars! Any one have any ideas?

Tizku Lemitzvos!

ok. did some digging, (DDF!) found that you pay at the counter.
still not clear, '
Am I to expected to pay even while flying on coach?

Also, is it worth it the extra miles to fly in business class JKF-LAX?

That's like asking is it worth the extra money to buy a Lexus...
