discount airline tickets

guidestogreaterliving.com With the economy the way it is and the two biggest Holiday travel seasons fast approaching a big question on a lot of traveler’s minds is, “How can I save money on airfare?” Anyone who likes to travel can tell you that the one thing that they look for when looking for travel opportunities is the cheap airfare and one will be hard-pressed to find these nowadays, apart from off-peak seasons (but then the fun gets taken out there, because you WANT to be there when everything important and popular is happening). Also, with todays economic crisis and everyone learning to put everything under a strict budget, splurging on travel just isnt as practical as it used to be anymore. Any parent or person with dependents will tell you that travelling is never easy for them anymore because they have obligations to fulfill. They will also tell you that it is hard on the budget because most of it is allotted to paying bills and providing for a family.

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.
