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 reservation is generally possible, but the process varies significantly depending on the child's age and the airline's specific policies. For "lap infants" (typically under two years old), you can usually add them to your booking by calling the airline's customer service or, in some cases, using the "Manage Booking" tool on their website. For international flights, adding an infant often incurs a fee (usually 10% of the adult fare plus taxes) and requires a separate ticket, even if they don't have their own seat. If the child is over two years old, they require their own seat and a full-fare ticket. Adding a seat-occupying child to an existing adult reservation can be more complex because it depends on seat availability; if the flight is nearly full, you might not be able to find a seat next to you. In many cases, you may have to create a separate booking for the child and then ask the airline to "link" the two reservations so that the crew is aware you are traveling together. It is always best to handle this as early as possible to ensure proper seating and documentation.
