Infant - Name as yet unknown ? Question Mark !
Tried booking easyJet flights to Spain next August and had a bit of a problem.
My daughter's baby is due next month, so there will be 2 Adults, plus an infant who will be around 8 months old at the time of the trip.
The problem is that as part of the booking process we were required to name the unborn infant. They are still undecided on a name for the baby, although they do know it will probably be a boy.
We tried leaving the First Name field for the infant blank and only entered the surname but then got bounced back from the final payment screen asking us to enter a first name for the infant.
It was suggested they gave the infant a fictional, dummy or temporary name (Stelios ?) on the booking form and changed it to the correct name early next year. This would of course incur a 'name change' fee for each of the two sectors. Anyhow they were not happy with this idea and it was agreed to wait another month or two before booking the flights - although the August flight prices may be considerably higher in a couple of months time.
I was keen that they make a booking at today's price and tried entering a ? (Question Mark) into the Infant First Name field and hit enter, expecting another rejection..... but BINGO the booking for two adults and an infant who's first name is ? was accepted !
Do you think we will still have to do a Name Change before the flights ?
