vent-it-los Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Just did a check with a casual highstreet flight booker in Pattaya and this guy says with Emirates they have a 10% charge for the infant flying with us adults -the parents? How does this sound? The Infant is seven months old. So does anyone know of an airline that let's the infant on a flight to the UK for free? Which airline is it? When does the age for discount expire, 1 year, 2 years up, anyone? VENT-IT-LOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vent-it-los Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 On the same topic, when checking availability for a six month open return ticket to the UK is there a price difference between a six month and a year open return ticket, same-same perhaps? Any little loop holes that one knows of will help greatly? VENT-IT-LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuestHouse Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) I believe all airlines charge infants at 10% of the adult fare(if no seat is being booked for the infant). BA (In my opininion the best airline for traveling with children) an infant not taking a seat is charged 10% if the adult fare but gets 50% of the checked baggage allowance, a full carryon baggage allwance and a folding pushchair allowance. BA every time for us. We've tried Thai/Eva/Singapore/KLM and Airfrance. BA beats the lot of them for travelling with kids. If you book a seat for the infant, BA charge 75% of the adult fare, and give the full adult baggage allowances + folding pushchair allowance.

briley Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 If you get a realy good discounted ticket the infant price can be more than 10%, Often children's prices on discount fares are 75% instead of the normal 50% which does mean it can be cheaper for you to travel on the deep discount ticket and the child or infant to travel on a less discounted ticket but get a 10% or 50% fare.

leisurely Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Racking my brains trying to remember back to when the girls were that age. I don't think you can carry an infant on your lap after the age of one. I may be wrong but that was when we had to start buying tickets for them. Personally I don't like BA, we go singapore or Emirates but it is personal preference. Loathe alitalia and would never fly with them again even if they paid for the ticket.

Axel Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I believe it is 10% of the full fare up to age 2 (no seat), thereafter 50% til 12 y.o. I put full far in bold. As with nearly any discount the basic is full fare with most regular carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
