Hi All,

Question regarding the best workflow for using Plus Points for international Y - J with infant lap child.

-Looking at a fall off peak trip ABC ORD EU
-Four adults, 2 infant lap children
-Have PP to burn

I have flown internationally on revenue and award tickets in J with infant lap child, but have not gone through workflow of using Plus Points for PZ space with lap kiddo.

My question: Does the traditional workflow of book Y -- Manage Reservation -- Upgrade -- Apply Plus Points still work? My concern is I do not see where in this workflow I would be paying the 10% lap kiddo international ticketing fee. If I can find PZ4, is calling in best? That would be a bit of a PITA for 4 adults and 2 lap children but I obviously can do that. Had a bit of a bad experience last year adding lap kiddo to long haul flight after it was ticketed (admittedly with a non UA/A3 connection) so would like to try to avoid that if I can.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
