Infants traveling to Canada, Mexico and some destinations in the Caribbean only pay taxes on the ticket. Infants traveling to other international destinations are charged 10 percent of the adult fare."
And I believe that the bassinet attachment points are basically just small holes with a fitting in the bulkheak. They take a pair of rods extending from the bassinet which are kept in storage somewhere on the plane.
Thanks, yes, we paid 10% for her. We have 2 'receipts' one for my husband, one for me, my name is listed at "last name/First name plusinf"
We can start our online check in tomorrow(WED) at 2.30pm-ish, so not that far away. As of now, 31A is still open. We're hoping to have a slight advantage of online check in because we'l be able to select seats for the IAH-AMS flight earlier than those taking a direct flight to AMS because the flight from our hometown to IAH leaves almost 5 hours before IAH-AMS does.
Just in case there is no bassinette position we're keeping the seats we have now, and will see what happens tomorrow. If either E or F is open, we'll move my husband to that seat.
Thanks for all your input and will let you know what we'll do.
As far as seatguru being wrong, I am sure they are sometimes, but the aircraft info on the CO website also mentions that 31AB and KL are bass. positions. Could the CO site be wrong on that also?
