There can be times where domestic and international sectors could be ticketed separately and work out cheaper

e.g. book award on Qantas for SYD-LAX connecting to AA for LAX-ORD

it would be possible to get a SYD-LAX ticket for the infant just for the cost of the taxes if issued by Qantas and then just travel on AA domestically free of charge

This would be a lot cheaper than getting AA to issue an award ticket at 10% of the adult fare plus taxes
