Flying Delta with baby?

Question

Anyone know what kind of documents are needed on a domestic flight for a baby? Please let me know if you have any experience!

Answer

Pretty good info already. But yeah, as a former employee- under 2 baby can fly as 'infant in arms' with you in your seat. You usually have to check in at the airport (not online) & they verify you have a baby with you and it shows on your boarding pass. You can usually carry on at least a diaper bag and gate check a stroller free of charge. Look up 'infant items' on your airline's site for specifics. Domestically you don't need ID for them, but traveling with birth cert copy is encouraged, especially if they are quite big or close to 2 yr old cut off. After 2, they have to have their own ticket and seat. Oh, and don't be afraid to take breast milk or liquid medications. Put then in a big ziplock and take them out like toiletries. They may do a bit of extra screening or questions but it's allowed. Most people don't know you can take food and stuff too, that you plan to consume on flight. Just no liquids. So don't take like, soup, but if you're preg and nauseated take all your own snacks they might make it easier. I always take an empty bottle or buy bottled water in the airport cuz I hate a dry throat or cough and not being able to jump up and get a drink.

Answer

You do not anything if the child
Is with you and is under 18. You can verify that in tsa website.

Answer

You need a birth certificate or photo id to show proof of age,  even if a lap baby. When you check in you have to get a ticket from the clerk in order to get past security. You don't pay for the ticket but all passengers have to be ticketed including infants. We fly several times a year with our now 3 year old and ended up getting a state ID for him when he was about a year old so we didn't have to keep bringing his birth certificate with us.

Answer

As long as its domestic you don't need anything. I have flown cross country twice with my son as infant on lap. He has to have a ticket this next time due to him being over 2 but nothing needed for ID.
