How many people can take a baby on an airplane?

BellieRue · May 2010

I'm traveling with A tomorrow and I was just wondering, I would think I get another person. I'm traveling with my mom and my sister, so I was going to take my sister because she loves to stare people down like "you better not try to sit here" so we could save the seat for my mom. Can I take an extra "helper"?

I would think you could all board together. It says families traveling with babies and you are all family so.................

Not sure I understand your question?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? If they have a ticket then there's no issue. When you board the plane all of you should be able to go with the baby. I flew with DS when he was 7 months and didn't have anyone, but other people had their whole families board with them.

This.

Does she have a ticket? Are your seats together?

I'm traveling with my mom and sister and Aiden. Families with children and special assistance usually get to board first so they aren't holding up the process. I don't think they would allow three adults to board just because of one baby, but my question is will they allow two? It wouldn't be any different if I were traveling with DH and Aiden, they would/should allow us all on at the same time.

Most airlines will allow your entire party to board together. We travelled in January - 5 adults and one baby boarded early together.

We are flying Southwest so it's a free-for-all in there.

I would think that you could all board together. I don't understand why you would have to save your mom a seat?? Is she sitting in another row or something? If so then just ask whoever is sitting with you to switch with her.

You will all be allowed to board together.

I would think they would just allow you all to board at the same time. If your seats are not already assigned together, and they don't allow you to all board at the same time, trust me- no one is going to choose a seat next to a baby!

That's my hope! I hope they run away from him!

Oh ok. I would think they'd let you all board together. And like another poster said, I don't think anyone will jump at the chance to sit next to a baby Have a safe trip!

Like pp said, you will be able to board together, but I can almost guarantee you that if you didn't, you won't have to worry. People will avoid sitting next to you since you have a little one. Normally people don't want to sit next to someone with a baby! : )
