Parent and Child with seperate Aeroplan accounts?
I am looking to book one way tickets from YYC-Tampa for myself and my 3 year old son. The miles I am planning to use are in 2 seperate Aeroplan accounts. Does anyone know if this will be a problem for me? Should I book both tickets as adults and then call in to tell them my son is a child? Or would I book my sons ticket through the contact centre?
I am just worried that the system will see this as a child without an adult, we’ll be on the same itineraries the whole way.

Either way, shouldn't be a problem.

You might book as an adult and then phone and have them change to a child and cross-reference the two reservations.

I've done both of these before, and it works.
If on separate PNR, make sure to have them cross reference the bookings. I've cross referenced a whole combo of tickets for one trip recently:
Wife 2 PNR (outbound reward J/inbound reward J)
Child 3 PNR (positioning flights/reward PY/reward PY)
Me 1 PNR (return paid PY)

I am only using Aeroplan for the return. The outbound flights are too cheap to justify using miles on.
