Flying with infant

[yochai]

I'm sure this has been asked before ( if its has please direct).
2 year old turning two in the middle of the round trip. Which airlines offer infant fares ( besides for BA)?

AFAIK, none

[jose34]

AFAIK, none

So what are you susposed to do?

Book as 2 one ways, booking them as a child for the return flight. (Many times it’s cheaper to just book them a seat for both ways).

Roundtrip as a Child?

[yochai]

Roundtrip as a Child?

Yes. Put in an older DOB on the reservation and then call to change

[jose34]

Ok. Thanks.
Opposite side of things.
What's the minimum age ( how many days or weeks old) a child has to be to fly on Elal?

Need to be one week old

My daughter will be flying with her 10-month-old on Delta domestic on a 3.5 hour flight. Since she's going to be solo (husband is flying back earlier), she'd like a seat for the baby. Any problem with basic economy? They're not too likely to seat them separately. Second question: they'll be flying while Delta is still blocking middle seats. I'm assuming they'll let her put the baby right next to her, right?

Have same question. Flying with DW & DS next week in Delta. Will I be able to take the car seat on board?

If its a paid ticket than obviously she will have entire row to herself. If it's a lap child, there are no guarantees, but if it's not a full flight she should be Ok.

Shouldn't have an issue.

I asked Delta today & they said I won't be able to bring the car seat aboard. I guess it doesn't hurt trying by the gate & just gate check if they don't allow. (Car seat locks onto carriage so not a hassle)

I'm new at this  so apologize if questions were asked before.
If traveling with 3 month year old on a flight and have a stroller with a car seat ( car seat is strapped into stroller) I will be able to gate check stroller and car seat for free?

Wheel it to the plane and they should tag it at the gate and then check it at the plane door.

They won't make an issue about the extra piece the car seat?

YMMV, I never had issues with normal airlines.

Same as any 2 piece stroller eg basinet attachment

I just did it this past Thursday on United & had no issue

Rough age. they already are aware that they can walk around, but not old enough to understand why it's not allowed. I personally would go for economy and have a full 3 seats for my crew. While some might argue, seat for my kid> sitting in J, especially at that age.

What do people think about a 6 month old overnight flight from LAX-NYC on delta? Can get 2 seats Delta one for me and mrs (and we can try to sleep tight with the baby though the bed is thin) or just get 3 seats together in the middle with a doona for the baby to sleep in?

Depends on baby, price..... and flight load.

baby is in the future (unknown) but will be approx six months old so too big for a bassinet in coach. delta one is $609 per ticket, coach is $280 per ticket so 3 would be $840 vs. $1218 for 2 delta one. flight leaves LAX 9:30 pm arriving 6am NY time.
Delta currently is keeping middle seats empty through march, unclear if that will stay through november when i fly (and then could just buy 2 economy and potentially grab a free middle with lap child). since its near thanksgiving flight may be close to full.
