I just got a price drop alert for a flight to Manila that SO and I want to book for Christmas 2016 so I can be with family. Thing is, we will have the baby by then, and I don't know whether I should just book for the two of us, then add the baby later on, or should I just book "baby" with an estimated due date and tell the airline I'll be giving them the details later?
Another dilemma is that booking through a 3rd party vendor (orbitz, priceline) is about $100 cheaper per ticket than booking through the actual airline (Japan Airlines). I am thinking the safer bet for a hassle free experience when adding the baby later on would be to book directly with the airline.
Anyone have experience with this?

I was trying to avoid a phone call to the airline, but now I'm gonna suck it up and do it after work. Let's see what they say. Also gonna bite the bullet and book directly with Japan Airlines. Excited though, because of the extra leg room (for bassinet purposes), and because I looked up their baby amenities and they have good ones! Yay!

Now I guess I'll have to sit tight and pray baby comes on time and doesn't make me wait longer than necessary.
