Infant ticket price
I have a business class ticket booked using AA miles for dfw-auh-hyd for June 2017 and am trying to see how much it would cost me for the infant ticket if I were to upgrade my mileage ticket to first. Is there an easy way to know the infant ticket price?

It will be expensive! Usually 25% of the business class fare. The only way to find out exactly is to call American and get a price quote. You can also call Etihad separately and get a price quote from them as well. Either airline can issue the ticket but one or the other may say they can't.

$150 seems quite low for business. Once it's issued check the booking class of the ticket and make sure they issued it in business. I had a business AA award ticket with QR and they issued the lap infant ticket in Economy pricing. It was a huge headache to get it fixed.

So I checked the itenary on the etihad site and see the biz ticket for myself and also see my son's name listed on it as well. So it should be good. Right?

Sorry not trying to scare you. It's just that infant tickets can be a pain sometimes because agents manually price them out. The lap infant should have his/her own ticket number so you can check with that on Etihad's website under "view itinerary" to double check the booking class.

in 2015 Etihad charged 20%+
I know that in 2015 when I was last looking for infant F tickets, Etihad charges 20-25% of the fULL unrestricted F price for an infant add-on to an AAdvantage ticket - it was so extortionate that we moved to flying QF instead (which resulted in probably the best flight I've ever had so all worked out in the end).
It seemed at that time to be a deliberate policy to break from the industry norm of 10% in order to try to discourage infants in the premium cabins.
