There is nothing more infuriating than having to pay $90 to hold your own toddler in your lap. It costs them nothing and they are ripping you off for having a baby. And to make it twice as bad I cant just pay cash for a seat for the kid at the lower adult price cause you cant book a 1yo on its own reservation. They know exactly what they are doing here and know they are jamming you up in this situation {Inappropriate language per

Again I would have never been in this situation if Lufthansa’s other subsidiary hadn't canceled a flight on me, so its the same company screwing me here, and its infuriating. Luckily I have 5 months to determine a solution and don't feel like wasting $90 on nothing, but to each their own.
