9 month old charged full holiday fee?

[Martiniolives]

Hi, just after some clarity. I'm planning our not so summer holiday, our first with our daughter. Both websites I've checked (BA and thomas cook) are charging the full price 3 times on checkout (so, £900pp and total is 2700). But surely that's not right? As a 9 month old her flight will be free as she's an infant in arms and I'm sure I read the hotel is free for under 2s (or at least it's less expensive and a child price for under 12s..)

Can't get my head round why both websites show us as 3 full price when I've told them it's 2 adults and 1 infant less than 1 years old. Is that right? Do we need to pay the full amount for her? Or is it worth calling thomas cook tomorrow?

I work for BA - the price pp shown is just the total divided by however many passengers in the party - so 3 in your case . The infant will pay infant fare and taxes on the flight and may have a free place at the hotel but the price remains the same as what’s shown . Just because it says 900pp that isn’t the exact break down - it’s likely to be 1300 pp adult and 100 for infant as an example

Have you compared the price with just two adults? You may find that not actually 900 pp.

We made the opposite mistake, me, dh, ds (7) and my adult dd and her bf were looking at hols budget £850pp. I put in 2 adults , 1 child found some great hols, spent ages picking one. The dd puts in details for her and her bf and for the two of them exact same hol it’s £1050pp.

You need to do a total budget and divide it by 3 for you pp amount. Or search by total amount.
