KE SkyTeam Partner Award - Lap Infant
I am able to book an award ticket with a lap infant when redeeming Korean Air awards on their own metal, but when I select Skyteam Award, my lap infant's name is greyed out.
Questions:
1. Do I have to call Korean Air to book a ticket on Skyteam partners which include a lap infant?
2. Can I book a ticket without the infant now with a Skyteam partner and call Korean Air to add the infant later (when the COVID-19 situation improves and the phone lines aren't clogged) or will I be required to pay the lap infant fee on the operating airline's terms (China Airlines) if I do this?
3. It is my understanding that KE charges 10% of the adult mileage on both Korean Air and Skyteam Partner awards?
Thanks!

They call it a Skyteam Bonus. https://www.koreanair.com/global/en/...onditions.html
And their rules say this below. So it seems that you're gonnah have to make a Skypass account for your infant and family pool the miles and then get a Skyteam flight award ticket that way. Just my interpretation, I have no experience.

Child and Infant
- The same bonus chart applies to infants occupying a seat and children.
- Infant is not eligible for SkyTeam Bonus even when not occupying a seat. Please purchase a paid ticket when a passenger is infant.

Rules state: Infant award requires 10% of adult redemption mileage.
Just call in after you have made your own booking.

Genuine question: If they call SkyTeam awards SkyBonus, and this is the information from their page, where is the correct rule you said? The 10% rate you said is correct for Korean Air Awards acdording to that same page.

Right, but the other person said it's 10%. But then it said infant is not eligible for SkyTeam Bonus even when not occupying a seat. So that leads me to believe that you don't get 10% discount "even when not occupying a seat?" Which would be lap.
