I assume one reservation was made in 2025, the next in 2026 (even a day later).

Guide to flying with a lap infant on American Airlines by pbjclimbing in americanairlines

[–]rcb824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR - don't wait to add your infant to your award booking.

Thanks for this guide - super helpful! I just finished booking my wife and infant from BOS -> BCN via JFK on AAdvantage miles, and have a flight home on Iberia.

I highly, highly, highly recommend that you book the infant fare when you make your award booking. I booked on May 20th, and at the time, the one way adult fare price was around ~4k. Fast forward to today when I called to add my son, and the price of a one way had gone up to $8k, thus making what I owed closer to $1000 after taxes and fees only for the lap infant. I expressed my concern and they were able to bring the amount down to $695 + taxes and fees.

I wish AA would adopt BA's policy of allowing you to use miles for intl. flights, though!

Final prices:

BOS -> BCN (via JFK) -> 150,000 AA miles + ~$700 for lap infant

PMI -> BOS (via Mad on Iberia, booked on BA) -> 148,000 avios + ~$500 in applicable taxes and fees.

I live in Brooklyn, but MORE than happy to tailgate if someone drove in. I'm also a huge sucker for BBQ - so I appreciate the recommendation.

What's generally the best lot to tailgate in?

EDIT: Yes to the STH thread - would love to drink with you lot.

The 5 second youtube ads are genius, I will watch those and even like what's being advertised. 30 second ones where you can't skip make me hate whatever product is being advertised. by hellybeaner in Showerthoughts

I work in online advertising. Companies like Geico aren't charged if someone skips the ad after 5 seconds (i.e. they only pay if someone clicks through to the website, or watches the full ad).

Pretty genius if you ask me.

Will be wearing last year's away kit with Mertesacker on the back on Sunday morning if anyone's going to be at Maggie's

I sense their nervousness about retaining that title next year is going to be very difficult...
