According, to IATA rules, if an infant flies on an infant ticket & attains the age of two anytime before the return date,
Question
Does the airline have the right to charge a child's fare & collect the difference
Answer
it is a legal requirement for children over the age of 2 to have their own seat due to safety implications.
The airline in question is totally correct to do this. Dependent upon the airline,
Infant ticketing policies do vary between airlines,
If an infant not occupying a paid seat turns 2 after travel has begun, there is a wide range of policies.
·Some airlines will accept the ticket without change
·Some airlines will provide a seat without charging an airfare
·Others require you to pay child fare on return.
you may be able to purchase a one way infant ticket and a one way child return ticket
although it is at the discretion of the individual airline,
