Cannot Enter API information for Child
I made an Aer Lingus reward booking using AS miles for 2 adults and 2 children. When I try to enter the API data I get an error on both children saying that "Adults must be between 12 and 100 years old" and cannot proceed.
Is the only way to enter this information via calling?

Also, you don't need to enter the API. The main reason airlines have it is to save time at check-in. Showing up at the check-in desk, Passports in hand, does the same thing. That's if you didn't want to call in, of course.
