Adding an Infant to an Existing Flight Booking

Adding an infant after the adults are ticketed is often possible, but the process, fare, documents and seating rules vary by airline and itinerary.

Important: BookMyReservations is an independent travel service, not an airline. If we issued your ticket, contact us to review available servicing options. If your ticket was issued by an airline or another agency, that issuer may need to make changes to the existing ticket.

Infant age and travel date matter

Airlines generally define an infant by age on the date of travel, but minimum-age and documentation requirements vary. International travel can require the infant’s own passport and destination documents.

Lap infant or separate seat

A lap-infant request and a purchased seat for a child are different products. The airline’s age, safety, restraint and seating rules determine the available options.

Existing bookings

If BookMyReservations issued the adult ticket, contact our team with the booking information and infant details so we can review the available servicing path. If another agency or airline issued the ticket, that ticketing source may need to add or ticket the infant.

International and partner itineraries

International infant pricing and ticketing can be more involved, particularly on codeshare or multi-airline itineraries. Verify the infant is correctly reflected across the itinerary before departure.

Adding an infant after ticketing

When the adult passenger is already ticketed, adding an infant can require the existing reservation and ticketing source to be reviewed. The infant may need to be added to the booking and, depending on the itinerary, separately documented or ticketed before travel.

Infant name and travel documents

Use the infant’s correct travel-document information and verify the requirements for the destination and any transit points. International itineraries may require a passport or other documents even when the infant will not occupy a separate seat.
