Hi all - first time post, looking for any prior experience of being successful in adding a lap infant to a points partner booking. I have booked using Flying Blue points (AF) x4 return flights from Dublin to Abu Dhabi - direct each way on Etihad. The current booking is for x2 adults and x2 kids but I now need to add a lap infant, from initial calls with each airline both Etihad and AF have pointed to each other to do it and despite appearing to permit adding a lap infant for 10% of the adult cash fare, neither were willing to do so. After much back and forward with AF they finally quoted a price of almost USD9000 for the lap infant and so offered to charge 10% of that, USD900 - you can currently book the flights for less than this figure for an adult (less than the USD 900). I should say, flights are all economy. Has anyone had this situation before? Many thanks
