I’ve been really busy planning our 2017 Summer Trip. We’ll be heading to the Pacific for around 5 weeks!
The first order of business was getting a flight from the U.S. to the region. American Airlines miles came in handy for that, costing 80,000 miles per person + tax ($71.66). When I asked about adding Theo to the itinerary as a lap baby, I was beyond surprised by the price I was told. Continue reading How A Call To Fiji Airways Saved Me $645.94
At the beginning of March I wrote about how Theo’s coach lap baby ticket to Ireland cost $350+. (Check out my Ireland trip planning post here.)
Had OTA Explore Trip called British Airways to book Theo’s lap baby ticket on one of the occasions that I called, the taxes/ fees would’ve been a lot cheaper. Continue reading Lawyer Up! My Fight Against Explore Trip for Theo’s Lap Baby Ticket
When flying with a child it’s definitely important to know the rules when it comes to lap baby tickets.
Kids are allowed to fly as a lap baby until they turn 2. For domestic flights there is no fee. If you’re flying international, you’ll pay taxes (which can sometimes still be quite expensive).
One man showed up at the airport and didn’t realize his daughter, who had just turned two needed a ticket. When he had purchased his plane ticket, the girl was one which led to his confusion. Continue reading Woman Buys Stranger $750 Plane Ticket for Daughter at Airport
The Michael W Travels Family recently got back from a quick trip to Ireland.
While I typically try to book our flights with miles and points, due to a cheap fare (and also no award flight availability) I bought the tickets for around $400 each.
At the time of booking I decided to not add Theo on as a lap baby. I figured that I could just add him on after. While this was never an issue while flying with Lucas as a lap baby, this would be a costly error on my part. Continue reading Ouch! Theo’s Coach Lap Baby Ticket to Ireland Cost $350+!
Today is a very special day for the Michael W Travels family.
Our little man Lucas Miles turns 2 years old today and I want to wish him an extra special Happy Birthday! (Check out my post about Lucas’ 1st birthday here.)
Lucas is an amazingly friendly and happy little boy. He brings a smile to the face of most that meet him. He’s brought an unmeasurable amount of happiness to Kim and I over the last 2 years!
While we all love to brag about our kids, this is a blog about travel so today I want to reflect on Lucas’ 2 years of travel (and as a lap baby). Since he is now 2, Lucas has taken his last flight without needing his own ticket/ seat.
