There is a computer system which check-in staff should've used in IAH, it's called Timatic, and it does have the information about unabridged birth certificates.
Yeah the usual KWI or MCT routings with QR, inconvenient but doable. I didn't mean SA metal but trying SA ticket stock.
Didn't know this is a Timatic entry, thought that's for passport and visa requirements (but I never flew to SA with a minor, so I can't speak from experience).
