[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you flown on this airline with the child previously?  I know that I have had to enter birth dates for each passenger.  If you've entered her correct birthdate at some time in the past, entering a wrong one this time may flag her.  On the other hand, if this is the first time she flies with the airline, and you enter an incorrect birthday, it may stay in the system and cause problems in the future.

Not worth it, IMO.[/quote]

You don't have to book the lap airfare ticket when you book your own. You can do it at check-in.

I've had to do this on two separate occasions, when I've unexpectedly had to bring my child along on a trip.[/quote]

But wouldn't you still have to provide a birthdate?

Wouldn't an airline find it a little suspicious if you flew last month with a kid named Joey and Birthday X, and today you are flying with another kid with the same first and last name and a slightly different birthday?  I know that would make me suspicious, and I'm not a naturally suspicious person.  [/quote]

Yes, the computer asked me to enter his birthday. I guess you could give a fake name since ID isn't required for children. The computer isn't going to question your reproductive timeline, and even if you end up with an agent, he or she is probably going to be too busy Thanksgiving weekend to play CSI. My son is now 2.5 and just started answering "what's your name" and "how old are you?".[/quote]
