American Airlines's policy, like most airlines, is that children above the age of 2 require their own seat.
So there's a very narrow age range where she'll need to suffer this particular problem, if she makes it to 102 she'll be out of those particular woods.

- avar 2y agoThe article doesn't state it explicitly, but I think there's an implied correlation. Before the age of 2 you don't get a seat, and it's implied that your guardians are 100% responsible for your mobility. Whereas a child old enough to require a seat might also need to request a wheelchair, and would be provided with one.
- SSLy 2y ago> The article doesn't state it explicitly "Patricia’s seat was booked as an adult ticket."
- vidarh 2y agoBefore the age of 2 you don't need to book a seat. You can book one on every airline I flew with when my son was <2 at least. A child under two needs to be on the lap of a parent during takeoff and landing but can otherwise use a seat. I flew with my son first time when he was about 3 months old, and we had a seat for him because it made it a lot easier. In this case, she did book a seat.
- avar 2y agoShe booked an adult seat, but was (according to their broken system) 1 years old while doing so. That's different than booking an extra seat for an accompanied infant.
- jajko 2y agoEvery single European airliner has exactly same policy, 2 and above separate seat and full price.
