.. curious - did you have to show 'proof' of your childs age? It mentions on a few websites you may have to but I've never actually seen/heard of this happening. We leave next Tuesday so I want to be sure bases are covered, I'll probably have DH call the airlines tomorrow, too.

Just curious! Anyone?

we've had to bring a copy of her birth ceritifcate every time (3 flights - all southwest).

destea1 · October 2008

Ah crap... we still haven't even received our copy - guess I have to find out where we need to pick that up. Thanks for responding! I better get on it!

Ditto the pp- we're not flying until December, but I was told we'd need to have his birth certificate on hand. I'm sure there's a way around that (since the airline we are flying allows infants to fly at 7 days old, and nobody would have a birth certificate by then) but probably better to be safe than sorry.

Nope... I flew US air and they didn't ask for proof of anything

They were really great w/ everything too.

Nope, we didn't have to show anything for him. We flew Delta.

I didnt have to have anything. I just had her name added to the ticket.

I did bring a copy of her birth certificate though just in case

destea1 · October 2008

I'll be at my birthing center tomorrow for group - hopefully they can lead me in the right direction.. I know we filled all of the paperwork out for the certificate at the hospital...hmmm

We have flown Continental and SW and never had to but we keep it on hand just in case.

we flew with DS at 3 months and were told to bring a copy of his BC and/or his immunization record. We brought both and were never asked to show anything either flight.

We had a bc, but were not asked for it. There's a clear difference between a 3 month old and a 2 year old!

destea1 · October 2008

I really would hope they could tell my DD wasn't 2 years old yet in the event that i can't get ahold of a BC in 4 days... hmmm. I can get a printout of the immunizations any time so maybe that'd be ideal as backup just in case.

What a dumb mom moment, I have no idea why we haven't ordered or gotten BC's yet. Lame.

Califlorida · October 2008

her first flight we didn't have the birth certificate yet. we just brought the paper from the hospital that is basically a temporary bc.

and when we check in we go, show them the certificate and they print a special boarding pass for a "lap child" with her name on it. they check that at security. so i guess, it seems weird no one else has had to do that.

destea1 · October 2008

Yeah I guess we'll just have to check w/ the airline and get an expedited BC possibly. Good thing I thought of this at least a few days in advance.. yikes... would've sucked to show up and find out then!
