Infant award travel (with seat)
Hi all,
Apologies if this was asked before, but I couldn't locate an answer for my particular situation. We are based in the US and are planning to fly "home" to Europe for Christmas. Our baby was just born this August, so he's well in the infant range. I was hoping to use some AMEX points since it seems the rates on KLM/AF are pretty good these days. However, it looks like you can't book award online for an infant and my understanding is you'd have to call and pay 10% for the in lap infant. So that's the first option I am considering.
However, the CHILD option seems pretty compelling – just 110k points total (40k+40k+30k) + ~$400 for 2 adults and 1 child. So my question is, has anyone booked an award CHILD ticket for an infant? I am still unable to do it online as it checks for the age, but has anyone done this over the phone?
Thanks!
