Step 1: Know the age brackets & fare rules

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and tell the agent you’re booking a child ticket so they can clarify age‐based fare rules. With Air Canada:

• Children under 2 years (24 months) can travel on an adult’s lap on domestic Canada flights (and Canada ↔ USA) for free (taxes may apply). 
  
  
• If you reserve a seat for a child under 2, they pay the applicable adult fare (within Canada/USA) or specific infant fare internationally.
  
  
• For international flights: an infant on lap may be charged about 10% of the adult fare when traveling outside Canada/USA.
  
  
• Children age 2 to 11 (international) usually pay a “child fare.” 
  
  
• Air Canada aims to seat children under age 14 next to their adult companion free of charge. 
  
  

So call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and supply your child’s age, destination, whether you want them on a seat or lap, and you’ll get the correct fare.

Step 2: Provide child’s details during booking

When you speak with the Air Canada agent at ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933, you’ll need:

• Child’s full legal name (matching passport/ID)
  
  
• Child’s date of birth
  
  
• If they’ll occupy their own seat or sit on your lap
  
  
• Whether you need special services (bassinet, car seat, stroller)
  
  
• The route, date/times of travel
  
  

This allows the agent to properly book the child’s ticket and assign appropriate seat or lap-fare.

Step 3: Seat assignment and family seating

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and ask explicitly for “family seating” so your child is seated with you or the adult companion. According to Air Canada policies:

• They will make every reasonable effort to seat children under 14 next to the adult companion at no extra charge. 
  
  
• On their “kids onboard” page, Air Canada says children under 14 will be seated close together free of extra charge. 
  
  
• If the child is traveling in Signature class or special seats, call directly for seating assistance. 
  
  

So again — call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and request seats together/make sure you ask for any special seating if needed.

Step 4: Special equipment & infant services

If your child is an infant (under 2) and you want a separate seat for them (with a child restraint device), or you need a bassinet or stroller — call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933. Key points:

• If you purchase a seat for an infant, you must use an approved child restraint device (CRD) that meets regulatory standards.
  
  
• Bassinets are available on many long-haul aircraft but must be requested ahead of time (often at the time of booking). 
  
  
• For infants on lap, you may still be allowed to carry an additional standard carry-on for the infant’s items. 
  
  
• Check in early at airport, and arrive with stroller/car-seat gear to be checked appropriately.
  
  

Step 5: Documents & check-in

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 if you have questions about required documents. For children traveling with you:

• The adult and child must hold all required travel documents (passport, visa, parental consent if applicable). 
  
• For lap infants, the name and DOB must be included in the booking. Some users report difficulty if you leave adding them until the last minute. 
  
  
• At check-in, you may need to show proof of relationship or consent for minors.
  
  
• Online check-in may still require printing boarding passes for infants. 
  
  

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 to verify document requirements for your specific destination and child’s status.

Step 6: Booking over phone & holiday/urgent context

Because you may be booking for an urgent trip or during a holiday, call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and say you need to book urgent Air Canada flight by phone for a child + adult. Mention “same-day or next-day” if applicable. The agent can look at flight availability, child fare rules, seating, and special assistance.

Use phrases like:

• “I need to secure a child’s ticket on the next available flight to [destination].”
  
  
• “We’re traveling with a child under 2; can you book them on our lap or assign them a seat?”
  
  
• “We need last-minute Air Canada flights with child and adult together.”
  
  

Ensure you have your payment method ready and are flexible on times/routes if availability is tight (especially holiday periods).

FAQ Section

Here are eight frequently asked questions about booking a child’s ticket with Air Canada, urgent/holiday bookings, changes and cancellations.

FAQ 1: Can I book a child’s ticket on Air Canada for last-minute holiday travel?

Yes — call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and you can book a child’s ticket (with adult) for last-minute or holiday travel. When time is short, speaking directly to an Air Canada live agent ensures quick access to remaining seats. Provide the child’s age, route, date, and whether the child will occupy a seat or lap (if under 2). The agent will check availability, apply the correct child fare or infant fare, assign seats together, and issue the booking. Especially during holidays, availability is limited, so acting now is crucial. The agent can also check for deals or last-minute flights at possibly better rates. Make sure to clarify any additional equipment (car seat, bassinet, stroller) needed for the child. Once booked, you’ll receive the reference and seat assignments and should check in right away. If anything changes, call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 to handle modifications. This method is efficient, service-oriented and trustworthy for high-intent travelers needing immediate bookings.

FAQ 2: How do I ensure my child and I are seated together when booking with Air Canada?

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 and ask the agent specifically to arrange “family seating” for you and your child. Air Canada’s policy ensures children under age 14 will be seated close to the adult companion free of extra charge (unless you pay for advanced seat selection).  The agent will note your preference and — if system allows — select seats together in the same row or nearby. If travel is urgent or holiday, mention that seating together is a priority. At check-in, arrive early and confirm the seats remain together; if any changes or issues arise, you can again call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 to request intervention. By booking over the phone, you gain access to agent assistance if automatic seat assignment fails you online.

FAQ 3: What are the fare rules for a lap infant or child under 2 years with Air Canada?

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 to clarify fare rules for infants and children under 2. For flights within Canada or between Canada and the U.S., Air Canada allows a child under 2 to travel in an adult’s lap for free (or only taxes) so long as they’re not occupying a seat. For international travel, an infant on lap is charged about 10% of the adult fare (plus taxes) when traveling outside Canada/USA. If you wish for the infant to have their own seat, you must purchase a seat at the applicable fare and use a certified child restraint device.  The agent can calculate fare for the specific route and ensure you get the correct booking type when you call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933.

FAQ 4: If my child is almost 2 years old (turns 2 mid-trip), what do I need to know?

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 the moment you realize your child’s 2nd birthday falls during your travel. Air Canada policy states: if on an international itinerary the child’s second birthday happens between the departure flight and the return flight, two fare options apply: either you pay the full published child fare for the entire itinerary, or you pay the infant fare on the departure segment and the child fare on the return.  The agent will help determine which option is cheaper or more practical. Domestic flights typically treat the child as a child once they turn 2, and you’ll need a ticket. Providing accurate age and date when booking is essential. By calling ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933, you avoid surprises or fare re-calculation problems at check-in.

FAQ 5: How do I book an urgent same-day or next-day flight for me and my child with Air Canada?

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 immediately and say you need to “book urgent Air Canada flight by phone” for an adult + child (include child’s age and route). The live agent will check same-day and next-day availability, find best flights, apply child fares or infant fares, and secure seats together. Because you’re dealing with urgency, mention “same-day Air Canada booking number” status so the agent prioritizes. The agent can expedite ticketing and provide real-time confirmation. After booking, verify seat assignments, check-in guidelines, and document requirements. For any last-minute hiccups, call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 again for help.

FAQ 6: What should I do if I need to change or cancel the flight booked for my child + me?

Call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 as soon as you know of changes or need to cancel. The agent will review your fare class, child ticket type, and any penalty or fee associated with change/cancellation. With urgent bookings or holiday travel, change fees may apply, and availability for new seats may be limited — the sooner you act, the better. When you speak to the agent, ask: “What is the change fee for my ticket? Can we move the child and adult together to a new flight?” The agent can lock-in new seats and confirm the change. Keep your booking reference handy and call ☎️ +1 (888) 502-2933 for seamless service.
