In theory, if one's child is just over 2 years, can they bring them along on a flight claiming they are under 2?

yes obviously on a domestic flight and not on southwest

Why is SW any different? They ask for ID?

Yes, SW is known to ask for ID for infants, you shouldn't have a problem on any other domestic carrier AFAIK.

Not that I would do this obviously

I've flown with my son multiple times on SW, don't remember them asking, but don't specifically remember them not asking either. Good to know.

Interesting note, I took my daughter through tsa precheck with me, (I actually wasn't flying, but had bought a refundable ticket to take her to the gate), and they asked how old she was. I answered 12, truthfully, and got a funny look. I offered id, and she said, no we can't ask for id, so you can say 12 for ad long as you want.

Can't? They can strip search as long as they don't ask for id?

That's how she made it sound. At least for the purpose of determining whether a child can tag along with the parent

FYI: At the checkin counter, you can ask for (and get) a pass to accompany a minor or old/disabled passenger to the gate. You'll need ID.

Bingo. Everyone told me that, and I laughed right past them as I went through security. They looked unhappy. It was 330 am

How can there be no j seats available on flight cx675 ?? Most Mondays are available for award booking as well, and there’s no seats at all even for cash ? If there’s a travel agent holding all the seats, is it likely that I won’t be able to get an award seat on this flight ?

Does a green card holder flying back to the US need to have a passport valid for 6 month?

metsgiantsfan · « **Reply #2053 on:** July 09, 2018, 04:04:49 PM »

I dont understand the whole "booking class". How does one select which class they want? (booknig class m,e,u, vs V or W on united)?

2)I havent been to Israel in about 25 years and its almost time to go. Been saving up my united miles for this eventual trip. A family member has offered to pay my airline ticket (I think premium economy they will go up to)- my question is, how can i pay cash with premium economy and use points to upgrade to business- can this be done? how? and whats typcially the points cost?

Just saying this negates all the people who claim there's bias against elal and all the other people who have taynahs. This is a really nice thing and one of the best things I have seen here on ddf. amazing

Idk what the hell you're talking about. Not to negate what @nafnaf12 has offered to do, but what about the countless number of hours members here have taken to help other people with their questions on DDF itself? Clearly, you haven't actually spent any time on DDF or seen how members here actually help each other. Regardless, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with bias against Elal.

Very true what you said but I was still amazed how often it happens here and just wowed. Sorry. Guess there's always two types of people out there.

Maybe it's just me but I'm pretty sure I don't understand what you're trying to say.
