Maybe Avoid Flying This Month

Elliot only has two months and three days left before he's 2 years old. When that happens, he can no longer fly for free.

So of course we're taking two cross-country flights this month. I apologize in advance to the third person sitting in a three-seat row with us, because Elliot is getting WAY too big to be a "lap baby."

Even though I'm benefiting financially from Elliot flying for free, I wonder if airlines shouldn't cut off this perk at 18 months...or maybe earlier.

Having Elliot fly as a lap baby is like giving piggyback rides to Andre the Giant.
