    FAA Links for info on using car seats:
    September 2015 advisory -
http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_120-87C.pdf
Regulatory Requirements Regarding Accommodation of Child Restraint Systems http://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/airline_safety/info/all_infos/media/2009/info09002.pdf


Earning mileage: Infants (who don't pay for a full ticket) are not eligible to earn miles.

Luggage: Some people report that their friend or parent flew and got lucky. However, it's best to check with the Airline (on their website or calling them), BEFORE packing your suitcases. Here are some helpful links:
[/list]

Proof: Some airlines require proof of age. Rather bring along some kind of proof, and not get stuck because of an gate agent or TSA guard that had a bad day.

Infants are cute.

Please help with this wiki.

Flying from EWR to FLL on JetBlue with a 6 month old...I bought my daughter a ticket and we plan to use the Doona. Is there anything i need to know about taking a 6 month old on a flight? Do we need a Birth Cert?
I am reading about Foward/rear facing car seats...Is rear facing car seat better?
i used doona in y on jetblue. no issue. wasnt able to wheel doona on since everyones feet are always in the aisle but was able to at deplaning when no one was seated near aisle.

Any way to know exactly how much United will charge for a lap infant on a specific points ticket? UA isn't showing the flight as available for revenue so I have no idea how much the cash ticket is, but it is available on points. Its a one-way on AC metal.

So if I am flying J from NYC-LAX round trip on AA with a lap infant are there any seats I should choose that will make it more comfortable with my infant like more room to place her somewhere with car seat; are the very front seats better or may be last seats in J class?

which brings me to next question will they let me bring car seat for lap infant; because its a j ticket do they give more leeway? or it all depends on gate agent?

I would assume front row so u have floor space, they also didn't let me sit with my wife in the same row on the same side (we each held 1 baby)

good luck with that!!
Brought baby head phones to play music. Toys books nosh.. but nothing is guaranteed lol.

Nothing worked for me and it was one hell of a flight. Literally. I think my entire section was ready to kill me. And we really tried everything- didn’t just sit and watch my kid scream like some other parents on the plane did.

Sometimes that works better to calm the kids down.
