Question
Good Afternoon Mr. Gomes,
I am planning a trip from JFK to Miami in June. I will be travelling with two children, one 12 and the other 2 1/2, my question is does my 2 yr old sit on my lap or am I required to purchase a ticket for him. Sitting on my lap seems unsafe to me.
I appreciate your response to my query. Have a great weekend.
Dear Linda,
For fare purposes, passengers are defined as follows:
Adult - Age 12 - 64
Senior - Age 65 and older
Child - Ages 2-11
Infant in a seat - Younger than age 2, must be at least 2 days old to travel. Applies to domestic travel, must be booked at same time as accompanying adult(s).
So you'll be charged as 2 adults and 1 child.
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Best Regards,
R.Gomes
