About This Service

What Is an Infant Addition Request?

Travelling with a baby is a joyful experience — but adding an infant to an existing airline booking can be confusing. Most airlines do not allow you to simply add a lap infant online after the original booking is made. This requires direct contact with the airline's reservations team, which is exactly what SureFlight Booking handles on your behalf.

An infant addition request is the process of formally adding a child under 2 years of age to an existing adult passenger's booking as a lap child — meaning the infant sits on the parent's or guardian's lap for the duration of the flight and does not require a separate seat.

Important: Special Category Group Fares

The Infant Addition Request is accepted for SPECIAL CATEGORY Group Promotional Fare only. If your booking is on a standard individual fare, please contact us and we will advise on the correct process for your specific airline and fare class.

📋 Terms & Conditions

  • Infant Addition Request is accepted for SPECIAL CATEGORY Group Promotional Fare only.
  • Infant age should not be more than 2 years at the time of travel on any leg of the journey.
  • The flying parent or guardian must provide a valid Proof of Birth (e.g. birth certificate or passport).
  • Only one infant per adult passenger is permitted on most airlines.
  • The final decision regarding infant addition will rest solely with the airline.

Note: Our Support team requires a minimum of 48 hours to act upon your raised request. We recommend submitting your infant addition request at least 5 days before departure.

Documents Required

What Documents Are Needed for Infant Addition?

Please have the following documents ready before submitting your request. All documents should be in PDF format if possible.

1
Infant's Birth Certificate

Official birth certificate showing the infant's full name and date of birth. This is the primary proof of age document.

2
Infant's Passport (if available)

For international travel, the infant must have their own valid passport. Some airlines accept a birth certificate for domestic flights.

3
Parent / Guardian's Government ID

Valid photo ID of the accompanying adult — passport, driver's license, or national identity card.

4
Booking Reference / PNR

The existing booking confirmation number or PNR for the adult passenger to whom the infant will be added.

Kindly upload a valid government-issued document as proof of birth. Accepted formats: Aadhar Card, Birth Certificate, Passport, or equivalent national ID. All documents must be clear and legible in PDF, JPG, or PNG format.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Infant Addition

Can I add an infant to an existing flight booking?

Yes. Infants under 2 years of age can be added to an existing booking as a lap child. This typically cannot be done through the airline's website after the initial booking and requires direct contact with the airline's reservations team — which SureFlight Booking handles entirely on your behalf.

What is the age limit for an infant on a flight?

The infant must be under 2 years of age (24 months) at the time of travel on every leg of the journey, including the return flight. Once a child turns 2, they are classified as a child and require their own seat and a child fare ticket. Airlines verify age at check-in, so always carry the original birth certificate.

Do infants need their own passport?

Yes, for international travel all infants must have their own valid passport — they cannot be added to a parent's passport in most countries. For domestic flights within the USA, UK, or Singapore, a birth certificate is usually sufficient. SureFlight Booking will advise on the specific document requirements for your route.

How much does it cost to add an infant to a flight?

Infant fares are typically 10% of the adult fare plus applicable taxes for international flights. For US domestic flights, some carriers charge a flat fee while others may allow infants free of charge on certain fare types. SureFlight Booking will confirm the exact infant fare for your specific booking before processing. A consultancy service fee also applies.

Can I request a bassinet (sky cot) for my infant?

Yes. Bassinets (also called sky cots or infant bassinets) are available on most long-haul wide-body aircraft at bulkhead seats. They must be requested in advance — SureFlight Booking can add a bassinet request to your booking at the same time as the infant addition. Availability is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can I bring a stroller or car seat on the plane?

Most airlines allow a stroller and/or car seat to be checked as additional baggage free of charge when travelling with a lap infant. The stroller can usually be gate-checked, meaning you use it right up to the aircraft door and it is returned to you at the gate on arrival. SureFlight Booking will confirm your airline's specific policy.
