Planning to travel international with spouse and lap infant soon. We only have enough points to book 1 business, the other has to fly economy. Will I be able to book infant fare (10% cost) in economy and have the infant sit with me in business later? Asking because 10% economy fare vs 10% business fare difference is huge. Airlines is Singapore Airlines.

☝🏼

I don’t believe they will let you. Also, why don’t you both fly coach and travel together? The benefits of traveling together while with an infant might outweigh the comfort of one of you chilling in business class. Maybe just save the extra points for another trip?

I understand. So then whomever gets business gets the infant. I would pay the extra cost of the 10% just in case. It would be very unfair to the spouse in coach to be “stuck” with the child.

If you can only afford xyz, why exactly are you doing this? Spending to the max of your means with an infant doesn’t sound like the right move. Open a 529 and put it towards that, it will pay off and will be better than traveling 30+ hours with an infant.

I would opt for booking all three of you in Premium Economy. Typically very affordable and good on price and accommodating for infants. Most international flights have options for lap infants to sleep in a secure bassinet that’s not typically advertised online but require you to call and book. Almost always available. We do this all the time. Recommend calling the airline.

Yes. Baby has to be with me. We are flying 30+ hrs total so trying to be as comfortable as possible. Btw I am the mom. Any problem ?

I would recommend booking seats together. We just traveled internationally with our lap child, it was a mess, passed her back and forth for the last 2 hours

Heard someone say they bought baby a sit and used the car seat and it was easier than lap

A lot of international airlines have bassinets for infants to sleep in that are made for the bulkhead economy seat. Might be the easiest option for the both of you.

I have to support my family financially. Usually my mom cooks for the family so groceries only cost $1200/month. However, my mom is abroad for 2 months so it’s just my siblings and they can’t cook so they’ve been using my card for doordash. I think there are days when they spend $100+/day. It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.
