미국항공사에 2살이하 아기를 데리고 탈때

여름 한국행 항공권을 알아보고 있는데 2살아래의 아기가 있으면 사람들이 다 대한항공/아시아나를 타라고 이구동성으로 말하네요. 근데 표가격은 평균 4-500불 2명이면 천불까지도 납니다. 그래서 한번 외국항공사에 2살이하의 아기를 데리고 탈때 규정을 찾아봤네요.

1. UNITED

댄공/아시아나와 크게 차이가 나지 않습니다. bassinet도 가능한 것 같습니다.

Bassinets

A limited number of bassinets can be reserved for use, free of charge, on international aircraft only. Bassinets are available for customers traveling international segments in United BusinessFirst® on select 757, 767 and 777 aircraft and in United Economy® on 747, 757, 767 and 777 aircraft. Bassinets are not available for customers traveling in United Global First^SM, United First® or United Business® at this time.

Bassinets are large enough to hold an infant weighing 22 pounds (10 kg) or less. They may not be used during taxi, takeoff or landing, or when the seatbelt sign is illuminated. Along with bassinet requests, we will provide accompanying seat assignments for an adult traveling with an infant and up to one travel companion. Contact United Reservations at 1-800-UNITED-1 (1-800-864-8331) within the United States, or call the appropriate worldwide contact. There will be no fee for these seat assignments when arranged by United Reservations or with a United representative at the airport; however bassinet availability is limited, so we recommend that customers call ahead of time to make these arrangements.

위에 규정을 보면 747,757,767, 777을 타면 이코노미도 베시넷을 받을 수 있답니다. 참고로 SFO-ICN은 747-400이니 가능할 것 같습니다.

아래는 구글링해서 찾은 UA베시넷 사진입니다.

2. AA

Child Held By An Adult ("Lap Child")

Infants under 2 years of age may be held in an adult's lap, however, taxes, fees or fares may apply. For the safety of your child, American recommends purchasing a seat and using an approved child safety seat. Please contact Reservations for further information.

When one adult travels with two infants, the adult passenger may only hold one infant. An additional seat must be purchased for the 2nd infant. Seats may also be purchased for both infants (see Fares above). The maximum number of infants per adult passenger is two.

Additionally, AA.com is currently unable to book a reservation for an infant traveling as a lap child. Please contact Reservations for further information and assistance.

AA에서 bassinet관련 조항을 찾기가 어렵네요. 다만 2명의 2살이하 아기를 1명이 데리고 탈때 2번째 아기는 반드시 레비뉴표를 사야 한다는 조항은 있네요.

다만 flytalk에서 재밌는 정보를 찾긴 했습니다.

In early 2006, complimentary cardboard bassinets were discontinued systemwide as part of an ongoing effort to simplify and streamline airport operations. However, on each 767 and 777 aircraft, one on-board metal frame bassinet is available on a complimentary first-come, first-served basis at check-in. The bassinet cannot be requested in advance

미국에서 한국이나 일본에 가는 AA는 대부분 777이니 한번 찔러나 볼 순 있지 않을까 합니다만..

3. Delta

원래 표값이 비싸서 그냥 포기할렵니다.

마모족 중에 2살이하 아기 데리고 UA나 AA 타고 베시넷까지 받고 "잘" 한국에 가신 분들 계시는지.. 꼭 대한항공을 타야 하는지 궁금합니다.
