Flying With Baby, Questions Posted: 06-23-07 21:39pm
okay, i'm still pregnant, but i was just
wondering about this because my
boyfriend's family wants to take us to
.Mexico next summer with the baby. Joleigh
will be about 8/9-mo's of age when we go.
do we have to purchase a plane ticket for
her? i tried to research it online a
little bit, but came up with nothing. if i
bring her in a carrier, which would take
up a seat, would i need to purchase a
ticket for her? i would think so. but when
i looked up buying plane tickets via
online, the age of a child is 2+.
therefore, we can't check off a ticket for
her.
ugh! this is so confusing to me. it's a
long time away, but i was curious to hear
opinions. or personal experiences.

I can't asnwer your question, but the baby
(well everyone actually) will need a
passport. That's a new thing now.......so
my daughter and I will need to get them
soon. Hubby already has his.
I think they do charge for a seat, now
that I think about it.

i think that you can check her carseat
with the luggage and then hold her on her
lap so that you don't have to buy a plane
ticket for her until she is 2 or older.
i've seen people checking the carseats
before so i'm pretty sure you could do it
too!

Oh, yeah! Yeah....what .terra said. That
sounds familiar!!
ya terra is right, if you want her carseat
on the plane you will need to buya plane
ticket but they can prob do it discounted,
when i flew here joseph had his own seat
because there was no way he would sit
still in my lap for that long so i had to
have him in his carseat. I dont think they
charged full price for his seat either.
But you can always have her in your lap if
shes a good baby and sits still and its
nota really long plane ride that way you
wont need a ticket for her. But yeah even
babys need passports nowadays.
