How can I add my child's ticket to an existing flight booking? Unfortunately, a child cannot be added to an existing booking. You will need to book a separate ticket for your child with the airline directly.

Adding a child to an existing flight booking is possible but often requires contacting the airline directly via their call center or a "Live Chat" agent. If the child is an infant (under 2 years old) traveling as a "lap child," you can usually add them for a flat infant fee or a small percentage of the adult fare. If the child is 2 years or older, they require their own seat and a full-priced ticket; adding them to an existing PNR (Passenger Name Record) is technically difficult, so airlines often create a separate booking and "link" it to the adult's reservation so the system recognizes you are traveling together. In 2026, new regulations in many regions (like the US and India) require airlines to ensure children under 12 are seated next to an adult for free, but you must ensure the child is properly added to the manifest to guarantee this seating.
