Ticket for a baby on Qatar?

[RTS]

I was hoping for some advice.

My wife and I are expecting our first child next month. We also have 2 business class flights booked to MEL in October and with all being well we are hoping to travel with said due baby. Just a couple of questions:

1) Do we simply ring up Qatar to add the child to the booking as and when he arrives and has a passport?

2) Is there a charge for a baby?

3) Should we actually go? 0.o

First of all congratulations!
Welcome to the club of not travelling light for a while!

We have two 2yrs and an 8m old, so we’re in a world of doubling up on everything, car seats, buggies, nappies etc etc!
Between them we’ve carted them off to Australia, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, South Africa as well as a host of European countries, so answering in reverse, absolutely you must go!

Just ring QR and add a lap infant, there will be a small charge, normally taxes and fees only to pay for them. You’ll see a different side of flying biz with an infant. The staff in business are normally amazing with babies. Helping getting the toilet ready for changing and will gladly hold a baby when you need an extra pair of hands.

Enjoy the trip and good luck.
