( See below for additional considerations regarding a lap infant vs seat purchase.) Age Verification Lap InfantsĬhildren under 2 are typically allowed to be brought on as a lap infant, typically at no charge or a significantly reduced rate (in the case of some long-haul/ international flights.) Even if you’re flying with your baby as a lap infant, you still need to have them added to your reservation with a confirmed ticket, and the process for each airline varies in how this is done. If you can’t find the option to book for an infant on-line, call the airline directly. It’s usually a quick and painless process. Some airlines (our favorite US airline, Southwest, being one of them) require you to call customer service to either add your baby as a lap infant or book a seat for any traveler under 2. Read on below for our tips leading up to and during the entire flight experience.Įven before you book your flight, there are a number of things to think about, especially given that many airlines have slight variations in their policies and processes for flying with an infant. For that reason, I’d recommend consulting the airline directly, either by calling customer service or visiting their website, to confirm any of the items below that you aren’t sure about: Ticket Purchase
And although each experience flying has been different as our son grows and develops, feeling more prepared each time definitely helps keep any potential nerves in check. There’s something relaxing to me about just showing up and having someone else take you to your destination. I still get excited every time I go to the airport, but that relaxation factor definitely changes a bit when flying with a baby. Like all things baby-related (and just like you heard me say before if you read my post on surviving long car rides) it definitely gets easier each time. I’ve always loved flying and will choose it over driving any day, both before I had a baby and now that I have one. And I like to think that he’s learned to enjoy it more and more too since he’s looked happier each time he’s flown in his “pre-flight” pictures below. With my first completely solo flight coming up with my son (and as a toddler, nonetheless!) I’ve been thinking a lot back to the flights we took with him before he turned 1. His first flight was at 7 weeks and we’ve definitely learned a lot since that first flying experience.
