Hi,

So I understand this is a bad idea but I'm just playing a "what if" game.

Booking airfare, Europe -> US -> Europe on United.com yields a price of $1,000. Important: all of the flights are operated by Lufthansa, not United.

The same flight booked through any other means is $1,500.

The problem is, this is for 2 kids, aged 13, and United cannot book this flight unless they're at least 15.

Here comes the bad idea: say I book the flights on United.com and get the huge savings by marking the birth year so it's 2003 (i.e. saying they're 15). Once the booking goes through, I call Lufthansa and explain that a mistake was made and that their birth year is 2005. Lufthansa (the carrier in this case) does not have a mandatory unaccompanied minor requirement for them (this is only for kids 12 and under and they're 13).

What's the worst that could happen? What do you guys think? I read a bit and it appears that the DOB being wrong is not a huge deal normally.
