Hi
I booked a flight from singapore to london next year for my family including my 20 month old, I phoned up as there was no option online to book a seat for the infant and I would like one, but I was told this was not possible.I have never done this before but read many times online this was a normal thing and completely possible, i am a little concerned at the idea of an almost 2 year old on my lap for 14 hours and thought you can pay for and put infants in their own seat after take off
is this not the case? could I just book another seat under my name or does it not work like that?
I’d just book as a child (so you get the right price with reduced APD) and tell them at check in, the gate and onboard that they’re an infant with a seat. As you’ve now booked you might need to call in and book for a single child but I’d just add a year to their DOB.
I’ve bothered to call in and book twice with two different airlines and I’m pretty sure they just book it as a child anyway and there has still been a bit of faff at the airport. I tell each person I dealt with so they’re aware and it’s been fine.
just before I had a kid I was delayed on a flight as someone had a seat booked for a child that was then sat on their lap for take off, so they thought they were missing someone.
Other option is to tell them you want it as a comfort seat – this might be cheaper if you’ve now booked them as an infant already
