What airline does 1/2 price for infant seat?

bundleofboy

I was traveling this summer and people kept telling me I should have bought DS a seat because it would have been 1/2 price because he's an infant. ?I didn't know that so now I'm looking for seats for our next trip and I can't find an airline that discounts infant seats domestically. ?Does anyone know which airlines I should be looking at? ?Thanks.

no clue. My mom did mention that to me too when we traveled internationally. I think that "back in the day" that was done.. but now that $ is way too important to the airlines and they are trying to fill every single seat available, I think it's pretty much unheard of. To them, a seat is a seat and they want the money for that seat!

What you can do is hope for an empty seat and bring the carseat w/ you. If you do that and they have a free seat, they're required to give it to the baby.

I posted on your other board as well - you either fly them for free on your lap or pay full fare for a ticket. Internationally it is always 10% of your ticket price to have them on your lap, or full fare for a seat.

I think southwest does discount infant/child fares, but you need to call -- it's not online.

I have traveled a lot with my girls and always had to pay full price if I purchased them a seat.... Let me know if you do find something!

From what I have seen it really isn't half price.  It is half price fare of a certain price code but full price fees so it is sometimes is not even a discount.  We had this problem when we flew internationally with DD as we had to pay fees for her even though she didn't get a seat.  I looked into the price of a seat for her and it was almost the price of an adult seat.

We just book a trip and DS will be on our lap. I've never heard of a 1/2 price seat. If it were true that would be great.
