What is considered an infant?

An infant is considered a child under 2 years of age who travels accompanied by an adult and does not occupy his or her own seat.

What is considered minor?

For fare purposes, most airlines consider children ages 2 to 12 traveling with an adult as minors.

Policies may vary by airline.
