International travel with child under 2 years while going but over 2 years while returning?

June 9th, 2009

jaina986 asked:


I am planning an international travel from US with my child who will be less than 2 years while going (In November, 2006), but will be a month over 2 years while coming back (in Feb 2007). I am planning to buy the ticket now (Aug 2006).
Can I buy a ticket for my child under ‘infant in lap’ category? Or will I have to pay for ‘child 2-12′ years category?
If I buy under ‘infant in lap’ category, then while returning, can the airline question the ticket / what extra price will I have to pay?

I do not intend to lie about the age of the kid, so please while replying, take this into account.
Also, the difference between a ‘lap’ fare and a ‘seat’ fare would be more than $1000 and so do not intend to buy complete ‘seat’ fare… (anyway, even with a seat fare, the kid is not going to stay in the seat but usually playing in my lap anyway…)
Guys, please, I am looking for the specific answer about the rules and not the opinion on what should be done..ex. as anjelkake provided her unwarranted opinion….
you know anjelkake, “opinion is like an a$$hole. Everyone has one. But there is no need to flaunt it in the public”.
