Pay for infant seat or not?
 

OK. No abuse please - I think we had enough of that in the other
thread.

Question : How full generally are transatlantic flights and internal
US flights in November ?

Reason is my little boy will be one year old and I haven't decided
whether its worth paying for a seat for him or whether there'll be
plenty of spare seats on the flight.

www.AA.com will show you the avaialble seats for any transatlantic flight.
(maybe internal as well I havent looked).

There may be plenty of spare seats but that doesnt mean there will be two
spare ones together, or a spare one next to you, book a basinet.

Is it worth paying extra for another seat ? - That depends how much money
you have.

Do you really regard it abuse when people disagree with your positions?

If you must take your infant, pay for the seat. If you don't, and there's
no room, you, your son and everyone around you will be miserable.

But better, still, is to not take an infant on a long haul.

I have taken a dozen intercontinental flights in the past 5 years and
there are rarely open seats -- you might luck out -- but every flight I
have been on into London, Paris or Rome has been full. for this long a
flight it is inconsiderate to not get a toddler his own seat.

This is from a mother who travelled with an infant, so not to worry about the
abuse ;-) - -
absolutely buy a ticket for your boy. He will be more comfortable and safer,
you will be more comfortable and safer, and the passengers around you will be
more confortable and safer.

That someone offers something (inadvisably) for free does not mean you should
take it.

Cheers,
Banty

Like I said - how about we keep this argument to the other thread...
