lachburke asked:
I am booked on a flight on Alaska Airlines next year with my 1.5 year old. He is flying on a full fare adult ticket not a discounted infant fare (usually 1/2 price). Both our tickets are points tickets (Perth through to Vancouver on Qantas then Alaska AL). Qantas does not require a booster seat for children in their own seat, even if they are under 2 (ie. infants) so I was not planning on bringing a car seat as I am travelling alone and will have enough to carry as it is. I read on the Alaska AL website that “children travelling on 50% infant ticket seats must use a booster/car seat approved for car and air travel”. I’m wondering, given that my son will be travelling on a full fare adult ticket whether he needs the booster seat? What will they do if I don’t have one, not let us on the flight? Or, shall I just lie and say he’s 2 – or just board the flight with him in his own seat w/out booster and they will assume is is two and not longer an infant and therefore no booster required.
