Yeah some said that's all they would need. It was for the trip to NC.
Jumping in as this topic didn’t include what Shanann’s response was back to her friends. And that was that she had needed them for Bella. While this may not have been that airlines policy, she had clearly been asked for the records prior, so why take a chance? There’s enough frenzy at the airport for anyone, let alone with two children in tow. Also, that post stated she was getting those records WHILE AT a check up for CeCe. An already scheduled visit.
To fly, a child needs identification. The three forms of acceptable documents are, birth certificate, passport or immunization records.
Shanann did respond she had their birth certificates. BUT had needed them in the past for Bella. Period.
To prove age of child is a secondary topic in terms of $ for a seat. I actually never paid for a seat for my last even when I brought the car seat, but simply because I got lucky a) empty seats b) nice gate agents.
Yes, airline websites do list acceptable forms of id for children. HOWEVER, and speaking from experience of being a frequent flyer WITH children for the last two decades, a cranky or less than helpful ticket agent, TSA agent and/or gate attendant may ask for more documents.
Also calling the airline doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a knowledgeable agent nor will that agent be there upon your check in pointS for your flight.
I myself have had my own experiences with this.
At any rate, what is the relevance HERE to whether or not a Mother would obtain immunization records to fly with their children. Which btw, besides numerous cranky in person agents suddenly changing policy as they fit as I lugged a car seat and infant in tow... it is good to have shot records with you when you travel in case of an emergency.
Relevance? I think I may be missing something but also, why are we nitpicking her SM posts again/still. If anything, being thorough just provides more proof, IMO, as to the caring loving and out together mother she was. No, I am not saying that y’all aren’t saying she wasn’t.... before that grows legs too as other topics here have (this last past of my sentence lands at random).
P.S. sorry for the length. A couple weeks ago, I had to take a self imposted time out from posting. I am caught up though and did like some posts along the way.
