I was talking about my case so I was thinking 1 bag. When you pay $100 with AC for your infant they are considered a lap child business passenger & they will get 2 bags 70lbs ea. Hope this is clear enough

Yes. Thank you.
Are you sure that when paying the $100 on AC the infant has the same category as having paid 10% on united?

Book an open jaw with ANA EWR-TLV * VCE-FRA-EWR for example & buy a cheap ticket from TLV-VCE.
Something like that.. You can play around with the return...
