When Luc was a baby, they never asked, but once he was walking around the SWA ticketing agents always asked when I flew with him as a "free" lapchild.

I'm wondering too...do they need some sort of identification?

They've asked every time on Southwest (like 10 times) and also on continental and american.

I've used either a copy of his birth certificate or his immunization records.

Oh No!  We are flying Hawaiian and I didn't realize that we would be in Hawaii for her 2nd birthday.  I went back a few hours later to buy an extra ticket and the price went from $180 a way to $450!  We are hoping that we can just check in at a kiosk and lay low.  Do they ask at the gate or when you checkyour bags?

I have only flown with DS once when he was over the age of 1 though and he never walked.  So they never asked me.  I would guess if they look closer to the age limit they would be more likely to ask.

Maybe they won't even ask you if she's in a stroller and off to the side with your DH.

They never asked for DS's identification but we haven't flown w/ him on our lap since he was about 6 months old, so he was obviously not yet 2.

They asked when he was little older and not in a seat of his own.  Never asked when I purchased a seat for him, only as a lap child.

No, but we were traveling out of the country and had a passport for him, so maybe that's why.
