Hehehe! asked in TravelAir Travel · 9 years ago

Quick traveling question, please help?

So I'm 17 and I have a baby boy. I've traveled with him before to Germany but my dad bought that ticket. I want to go to Georgia and see some of my family. Normally a ticket for a baby under 2 is free as long as the baby is in your lap. It says if the child is in an adults lap. And technically when I go, I'll still be 17 (so close to 18 lol)...Either way I'm his mom. So...yeah. Any exceptions for that? When my dad did it before it was no problem. I went to hotwire (cheap) so I'm not sure. Anyone know? I'm sure I'll call them, I just wanted some advice/info from other people :) thank you.

    Most airlines consider ages 16+ to be an adult on domestic flights. Meaning that use of an unaccompanied minor service, etc. is not required. So based on that you should be fine, but you might want to call the airline you are planning on flying to check just to be sure. Good luck!! :)

    Call the airline you are planning to travel with, and ask them their policies directly.

    Each airline has different rules and regulations for unaccompanied minors(the fact that

    you have a baby is not relevant). Only your age is.
