Booking a ticket for children and infant?

Hi!

I am trying to book tickets on DL website, and I don’t understand how we can select children and infants?
This is an international flight.

thanks

Are they on a separate PNR from the adults?

For the infant, you need to call DL. You might as well do the child ticket at the same time on the phone, although don't expect to get a discounted price for the child.

I'm assuming that there will be at least one adult on the same flights so that requirements are satisfied as a child cannot serve as the person holding the infant. Moreover, there are rules about children traveling alone, including registration as an unaccompanied minor and payment of UM fees.

We will be 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant, so no UM
Why is there no discount for children?

On most routes, child fares were eliminated years ago.

Infant tickets (usually 10% of adult fare) are really the only remaining discount. Child (over 2 years ) as MSP said have all but a few been gone for awhile.

You could try to check them. Only $25/per each direction.
