Booking before baby is born

I am wanting to book flights where my newborn baby will travel with us. What is the process for including him when I don't yet know his birthdate?

Hi @jordantaylor,

 

First, congratulations on your baby! 

 

You don't need to anything special beforehand. When you get to the airport, make sure to visit the ticket counter and advice a Customer Service Agent that you are traveling with a lap child. Make sure you bring a copy of the birth certificate or shot record for proof the date of birth. (This is always required, even for newborn). 

 

Our Customer Service Agents will get you all set up, and you'll be good to go. We look forward to welcoming your family onboard.
