Question How strict are Airlines on checking if child < 2yrs. old
Our daughter is 2 yrs. and 4 months old. We just flew on SWA on Thanksgiving and all the airline staff assumed she was on a free ride as a lap baby. However, I had purchased a ticket for her.

So has anyone has experience with this? Since we've flown with her no one has ever asked to see a birth certificate, etc. Are the airlines pretty lose on this as long as the child looks around 2 years old? Are there certain airlines more strict than others?

Thanks.
