Please visit the airline's website for specific rules and regulations regarding child safety seats, strollers, and bassinets. Each airline has its own policies and guidelines that provide important information for traveling with infants and toddlers.
For International Travel: Each infant, whether traveling in lap or in a separate seat, requires a separate ticket. Airlines may offer discounted fares for infants, depending on the destination. Please be aware that most infant tickets purchased through our website for international travel will require a paper ticket. A shipping fee of $19 applies for shipments within the USA, while a fee of $38 is applicable for shipments to Canada. Tickets can only be shipped to the billing address.
You can also book and purchase the infant ticket directly from the airline, ensuring you provide the accompanying adult's ticket information. It's important to note that different airlines have varying rules and regulations regarding infants. We strongly recommend visiting the airline's website for their specific policies and guidelines.
When an adult is traveling with two infants, they may only hold one infant in their lap. An additional seat must be purchased at the adult fare for the second infant. The maximum number of infants allowed per adult is two. For airport security information regarding traveling with infants and children, please visit the TSA website at: TSA - Traveling with Children.

Is there a discount on infant or child fare?For most domestic flights within the U.S., airlines typically do not provide discounts for children and will charge the full fare.

It's recommended to check with the specific airline for their policies regarding child and infant fares.
To purchase travel products such as air tickets, insurance, and hotels online, you must use a valid credit or debit card issued in the US or Canada. While debit cards are accepted, they often have low daily limits, which may lead to payment rejections, such as "Credit Card Declined." We accept major credit cards, including American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Diners Club. If you do not possess a valid credit card, online purchases will not be possible. Only one card can be used per reservation.

If you encounter any issues, please contact our Help Desk to correct the entered information.
Can I Pay for the Ticket with a Debit Card?While we recommend using credit cards for purchases, we do accept debit cards that display the Visa or MasterCard logos. Please be aware that debit cards typically have lower daily spending limits, which can lead to complications when purchasing airline tickets online. We strongly advise contacting your bank before making a purchase to ensure that your daily spending limit is sufficient to cover the cost of the tickets. Inform them that you are making an online purchase, as this may help prevent any security blocks on your account.
Additionally, please note that debit cards are subject to stricter fraud screening, which may cause delays in confirmation. If your debit card is declined for any reason, you will receive a notification via email. It is your responsibility to contact your bank to resolve any issues. Be aware that airlines reserve the right to lapse the fare and cancel the reservation if full payment is not received.
Do You Accept Prepaid Credit Cards?We accept most prepaid credit cards; however, we highly recommend using a standard credit card for your purchases. The processing time, flexibility, and overall transaction capability of prepaid cards can differ significantly from those of debit or credit cards, which may lead to complications during the booking process.

We do accept Canadian credit and debit cards, and the final charges on your Canadian statement will be in Canadian Dollars after our price quote has been converted from US Dollars.

Once the airline confirms and issues your ticket, you will receive a final confirmation email. If you do not receive this email, check your spam or junk folder, as it may have been filtered by your email provider.
What If I Haven’t Received My Confirmation Email with My Booking Reference Code?Once you complete your online booking, you should immediately receive an email confirming your request, including your booking reference code.

For codes with only letters, visit the designated itinerary retrieval site for that option. For codes with both letters and numbers, visit the appropriate booking management site. You will be able to print your itinerary from there.
I Have a Confirmed Reservation on Two or More Airlines. Why Am I Unable to Issue My Ticket?Some airlines do not have ticketing and/or baggage transfer agreements with each other, which may result in the itinerary you selected being invalid and unable to be confirmed and ticketed. If this occurs, your request will be canceled, and no charges will be applied to your card.
You can then return online to choose an alternate itinerary or contact our Help Desk for assistance.
Do I Have an Electronic Ticket or Paper Ticket for My Reservation?Our system is programmed to automatically issue electronic tickets (e-tickets). If the airline prohibits an e-ticket due to technical reasons, we will notify you within 24 hours of your booking. If you choose to receive a paper ticket, additional shipping charges will apply.
If you have any concerns about receiving a paper ticket, please contact our Help Desk for assistance.
How Do I Travel with an Electronic Ticket?Electronic tickets (e-tickets) offer a convenient travel experience by eliminating the worry of losing or having your paper tickets stolen. For check-in at the airport, you will need to carry a government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.
Many airlines allow online check-in and enable you to print your boarding pass up to 24 hours before your flight. It is essential to have a printed boarding pass to proceed through security; if you do not have one, please visit the airline ticket counter before heading to the security checkpoint.
We recommend reconfirming your flights directly with the airline at least 72 hours prior to departure.
Identification Requirements for Children at the AirportFor domestic travel within the U.S., children under the age of 18 do not need identification. However, the adults accompanying them at the departure and arrival airports must have valid identification. While airlines generally do not specify what identification is needed for the adult dropping off or picking up the child, standard photo ID used for airline travel, such as a driver’s license or passport, along with a valid birth certificate, should suffice.
If a child is traveling unaccompanied on an international flight, there may be additional requirements, such as passports and visas. Depending on the situation, extra documentation might be necessary to allow a child to leave the departure country or enter the destination country. It is advisable to consult the relevant authorities for each country involved to ensure compliance with all requirements.
Guidelines for Unaccompanied Minors Traveling AloneMost airlines permit unaccompanied children above a certain age to fly, but typically with several restrictions. Policies vary widely from airline to airline, so we recommend contacting us for assistance or making direct reservations with the airline regarding unaccompanied minors.
In the U.S., there are no clear regulatory guidelines concerning unaccompanied children, making it essential to thoroughly understand the specific policies of the airline before making a reservation.
Reasons for Changing AirportsItineraries may occasionally require an airport transfer if specific airlines do not operate flights to your desired destination between certain airports, like EWR and JFK in New York City. The cost of changing airports is the responsibility of the traveler, who must collect their luggage and transfer to the next airport to check in with the subsequent airline. Typically, itineraries that necessitate switching airports are priced lower, making this option available on the website.
Check-In Procedures for Domestic and International FlightsUnderstanding the Requirements for Smooth Travel
When packing, please remember that new regulations allow for only one standard-size carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a purse, laptop, small backpack, or briefcase.
The Transportation Security Administration requests travelers not to lock their checked luggage. If your bag is locked and needs inspection, security will remove the locks. New security rules require customers with checked baggage to fly on the same flight as their bags. Be sure your name and contact information are on the outside and inside of each bag.
For domestic flights, it is advisable to arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes prior to departure if checking bags. If you only have carry-on luggage, plan to arrive 60 minutes before departure. For international flights, arriving at least two hours prior to departure is recommended. Passengers will need their passports for international travel.
Keep your government-issued photo ID readily available, along with a printed itinerary if traveling with an electronic ticket. As per regulations, children under the age of 18 do not need a photo ID on domestic flights as long as the accompanying adult certifies their identity.
It is advisable to reconfirm your flights directly with the airline prior to departure to ensure there are no last-minute schedule changes.
If you wish to reconfirm your flights or have any questions about a particular airline's rules, please contact the airlines directly.
Passport Requirements for U.S. Citizens Traveling to Canada, Mexico, and the CaribbeanEssential Information for Smooth International Travel
Most U.S. citizens must use a U.S. passport to travel overseas and reenter the United States. A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies your identity and citizenship. Only the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Embassies and Consulates have the authority to issue or verify U.S. passports.
Most foreign countries require a valid passport to enter and leave. Some may allow entry with only a birth certificate or a birth certificate along with a driver’s license, but all persons traveling by air must present a valid passport to reenter the United States.
If traveling by land or sea, you must provide evidence of both your U.S. citizenship and your identity, such as a driver's license and birth certificate, when reentering the United States. For many land or sea trips, this means you can use the new U.S. passport card instead of the standard passport book.
Recommendations made by the Department of Homeland Security caused passport rules to change when travelers began needing passports if returning to the U.S. by air from Canada and Mexico. Passports have also been required from U.S. citizens crossing Mexican and Canadian borders by land or sea.
Some Caribbean islands are U.S. territories; you do not need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands by land or air. Guam, U.S. Samoa, Palau, and other Micronesian islands are also U.S. territories.
To travel to and from U.S. territories in the Caribbean from the mainland by air, you will need official government-issued picture identification, such as a current driver’s license or photo ID card, or a passport, or two forms of non-photo identification, one of which needs to be state-issued. Proof of U.S. citizenship, like a birth certificate, may facilitate leaving the U.S. Virgin Islands for the mainland.
Regarding children, some countries require proof of relationship to the children and consent from any non-accompanying parent(s) to help prevent child abductions. Visit the appropriate resources for information about your destination.
Some countries require a traveler’s passport to be valid for at least six months beyond the dates of the trip. Contact the embassy of your foreign destination for more information.
Passport, visa, and health requirements vary by country. Ensure you gather all necessary information well in advance of your trip. Passports are required for all U.S. citizens traveling to or from the United States via air, to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, and Bermuda, with the exception of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
To obtain a passport, allow ample processing time. For urgent travel needs, seek information on expedited processing.
For frequently asked questions about travel document requirements or foreign country entry requirements, consult appropriate government resources.

U.S. embassies are located in over 160 capital cities worldwide, and each embassy has a consular section to assist citizens. Consular officers provide vital support in various situations, including issuing visas to foreign nationals and assisting U.S. citizens with passport replacements. If your passport is lost or stolen, a consular officer can issue a replacement, often within a short time. In the case of theft, it’s advisable to report it to local authorities and obtain a police declaration.
If you fall ill while traveling, consular officers can help you find local medical professionals and specialists. They can also assist in emergencies, keeping your family informed if you request it. Should you lose all your money, consular officers can facilitate contact with family or employers to arrange for funds to be sent. In case of family emergencies, your relatives can contact the appropriate authorities to relay messages regarding your safety.
If you are arrested, you can request that the authorities notify a U.S. consul. While consuls cannot get you released, they can provide a list of local attorneys and ensure you are treated fairly. In the unfortunate event of an American’s death abroad, consular officers will notify the family and assist with arrangements for the disposition of remains. If you are caught in a natural disaster or civil unrest, it is crucial to inform your family of your safety, and consuls will prioritize helping Americans in immediate danger.
Always be prepared and know that U.S. officials will do their best to assist you, even in challenging circumstances.
Why You Should Consider Registering Your TravelsRegistering your trip with the U.S. State Department is a smart decision. In the event of an emergency, such as a natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest, your nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can provide crucial assistance and information. By registering your trip, you enable the embassy or consulate to locate you when you need help the most.
This registration is voluntary and free of charge, but it should be an essential part of your travel planning and security measures. For more details on how to register your trip, refer to the appropriate resources provided by the U.S. State Department.

In the unfortunate event of losing your credit cards, promptly report the theft to the card issuers. Most companies have dedicated emergency services available around the clock, so check your issuer’s contact information to ensure you reach them quickly. It’s wise to follow up your phone calls with a written notice, detailing your account number, when you noticed the card was missing, and the date of your report.
Remember, staying informed about your bank's emergency protocols can significantly ease the stress of replacing lost or stolen items while traveling. Always keep your important documents secure and have a plan in place to handle such situations should they arise.
Understanding Current Regulations for Carry-On Liquids, Gels, and Aerosols
When traveling, it’s essential to know the regulations regarding liquids, gels, and aerosols in carry-on bags to ensure a smooth airport experience. Generally, travelers are allowed to carry liquids, gels, and aerosols in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, all of which must fit into a single quart-sized clear plastic bag that is easily accessible during security screening.
