Traveling to BOM from PHX with a 1.5 yr old?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Want to use 120K skymiles for business class, for my wife and I. Should I go CO DL NW or AF?


What should I do about my son's infant ticket ? consolidator? or airline directly?

I assume you mean a lap seat ticket: you buy it direct from the airline. You will pay 10 per cent of a full fare business class ticket for your child to share that international business seat with you, so --with taxes-- expect to pay around a thousand dollars.

You child is 18 months old, yes? You might consider booking two economy award seats instead of the single business seat. It'll be more comfortable for all concerned.

My first choice will be AF then CO then DL then NW.

If you have enough miles, get him a ticket. If not, then make him a lap child. Personally, we started to 'purchase' (money or miles) a seat for our son once he turned one. We have taken some very long international flights (10-hr to 12 hr) with him when he was 14 months and it would have been difficult to hold him for these flights.
