So called back and after a brief consultation with her supervisor, the agent said now lap child can only be ticketed 30 minutes prior to departure (but at the price I was quoted today) so no receipt would be sent. It has now been several hours and still no receipt or pending charge on my CC.

Is this a new policy or should I call back?
