Do all airlines offer baby bassinets? In particular, AA would have the best connections/price, what is their policy?

How much extra does it cost to have a baby on board? Is there a difference between lap and bassinet?

Neither my colleague nor his wife have status on any airline.

Thanks for any answers - or hints where we can find more information.

Your chances of getting a bulkhead seat on US carriers are limited - but much better on EU carriers. BA and KL are especially good in my experience in providing bassinets. On the other hand a direct flight is also worth something - I would only tranfer in Amsterdam with a baby if coming from Brussels.
