Interesting observation about infant tickets.... my wife and I are flying on a LH flight, via a United miles ticket. I called both United and Lufthansa about an infant ticket, and i got different responses about the actual infant ticket....
a) via United phone agent, the infant ticket is merely added as a tax to the miles ticket that I already have. No separate ticket number issued for infant if adding infant via United phone agent.
b) in contrast, same reservation, LH agent on the phone says that the infant will get a LH ticket number, and that the ticket fare will will be 'C'!!! I was a lil giddy but i was doubtful about the unique ticket number (since United says there wont be any separate ticket number for infants).... but i was indeed proven wrong -- lo and behold, after booking the infant seat via LH phone agent, the infant does get a ticket number of his own (on LH ticket number stock), and another LH phone agent even concurs it is fare coded as 'C'!!!
Wow, what a difference in infant reservation. LH agent claims that infant wont receive miles in MILES AND MORE, but I'm gonna try doing a retro credit claim via United or some other star carrier program. Anyone have experience with infant tickets on LH? does the 'C' fare class infant ticket earn miles?
