QF/EK: Add infant to booking - rules?

[ChrisW.]

Hi all,

Qantas has the policy about infants on their website, e.g. I can add an infant to an existing booking (https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnec...ing/infant-fare-and-ticketing-guidelines.html)

However, how does it work if the QF flights are operated by EK? Is that the same rules as booked through QF or does EK have different rules? Did not find anything about the infant booking rules on the EK website.

We want to book flights for later in the year as they are reasonably priced but do not know the birth day of our baby/infant yet.

There was another thread (see here) about an infant issue on a partner airline booking. CX marketing airline and QR operating airline.

In that case it was adding infant after the booking which might be different to your situation.

We would do the same, book us adults niw and add the infant later, once born.

Seems there is some issues with CX and QR but hope things work better with QF and EK.
Hope anyone here has some experience ?

We had this a few years ago on a points ticket booked by QF, flying JL. Wasn’t an issue at all. QF agent did it straight away on the phone. I would only trust the premium centres for this, though.
