“Infants who will reach their second birthday during the journey will, in accordance with safety regulations, be required to occupy a seat, paying the child or lowest applicable fare. When a separate seat is requested or required on a portion of the itinerary, combination of an infant no seat fare and a child fare is permitted within an itinerary but not within a fare component. Basically half return infant fare and half return child fare must be charged and two separate bookings must be made one for the infant no seat and one for the return as a child. The bookings must be cross-referenced with the correct information”
