IME on routes where AA doesn't charge to add on, it is because the infant does not require a ticket to be issued. BA will issue a ticket for the infant , thereby making it impossible to check in online. Another reason not to do it.

you will need to "buy" the infant a ticket - i.e. pay the taxes so be sure to budget extra time at the airport for this.  you can try to call aa and add the infant over the phone but ymmv - some agents say they can't do it and tell u to call ba.

I was told that canada is treated like domestic.

there are some taxes you need to pay for the infant when travelling from canada to the us.  it is considered domestic in that they don't charge u 10% for the infant that most airlines charge on international travel.

Pay the same from aa. It was a pain to get them to add it. I was on the phone for 45 minutes and they couldn't do it. Then took almost a half hour in the airport. Almost missed my flight

Any way to reduce the taxes and fees? Why is Montreal $2.50 and YYZ $50+?

If it's a RT then you ARE paying like $58 in fees, these are canadian taxes that there is no way around it

From JFK/LGA to Montreal or Toronto u would just be paying the standard $2.50 fee, if u want to return from Montreal or Toronto to JFK/LGA, taxes are about $55.

@saver, US accts are cheaper. ~ $58 per pax.

You can only change acct address once evry 6 months.

You can have a home address and a work address one in Canada one in the US, and switch which one is the main address under" Update My details"

i switched multiple times within 6 months (BA RBC miles won't post if main address isn't canadian)

Does anyone have an idea about delta charging taxes? on an account in the US tax for roundtrip YUL-LGA is Around $61, will it work the same with delta, what about having a canadian credit card with delta miles on a skymiles account registered in the US
