Cancellation of Infant Paid / Reward Tickets
 

I'm looking at making a 2 adults + 1 lap infant booking. But as with all travel during COVID, the trip may never happen.

I could use Avios and was wondering whether I'd be on the hook for 3 sets of £35 cancellation fees.

Or I could book using AA / AS miles, etc. (whoever is currently waiving cancellation fees for reward flights) and phone BA to add an infant with cash. What would happen if I cancelled the underlying adult rewards and then called BA to cancel the infant add-on? Would I just lose all of that money or do infant fares somehow book as flexible?

The cash fare could be FTV'd but you wouldn't get a refund, beyond the underlying ticket refund conditions.

You could use Avios for the three people and FTV those too, to avoid the £35 per person fee. The only catch is the 2023 expiry date.

On Avios bookings there is no service fee for infants.

Do you mean cancellation fee? Or service fee as in the extra charged when one inevitably has to call BA to sort it out?
