in my experience, the TSA officer just counted how many kids i have, made sure i have the same number of boarding passes, scanned them all and let me go.
Got me faster thru security lanes and easier checks in general.

I would really check with the airline you're using

Sorry for the newbie question, what ID do kids need if any? They don't have any photo id yet.

Thanks
Domestic or Intl?

They do not need ID. On southwest you will need a birth certificate for under 2

How fast is UR transfer to United?
I transferred UR to Krisflyer already, but the points have not shown up yet. Wiki says not till 3am.

SA says Amex will transfer immediately or within 3 hours. Is that true? Hate to waste more points, but I need this ticket.

yes. They may ask the child their name.


i believe that they may NOT ask age, only "are you over 18", but YMMV on that.

Thanks. What about Amex to Krisflyer? Is it faster than UR to Krisflyer?

Then this belongs in the dumb things we did thread. I just transferred over 100k points to Krisflyer for a measly Y redemption which may not even get there in time now.

Krisflyer told me that most banks batch out points once a day whereas Amex sends three batches a day. Amex should be faster.

I know its extremely frustrating when u see the ticket but the points are dragging along as if there is no better place to b.

Im not sure how the transfers work i just remember when i did it, btw AS told me that they only transfer points on tues and i got mine on Sunday not saying SQ is the same just pointing out they might not always be right,

Yes, willing to hold, but UA can take it back any time since no more seats left.

Looking to fly nyc to bud next week. United doesn’t have any saver availability. What other options is there to fly in J not using a crazy amount of miles?
