Oh bloody hell, thats who we were intending to fly with

I think I better start writing letters again before we go (I'm
contemplating doing the trip out alone next Christmas, when DS will be
~8 months, will have DH with me on the return).

I would certainly do some investigation. The annoying thing is I checked to
make sure the seat was ok to take on the plane (and I checked again at the
ticketing issue bit) but I didn't ask if the seat could stay permanently on
the airline seat or if it had to be removed at landing and take off. (Never
thought to ask) Be very specific when you ask about the car seat.

Best wishes

While I know you can reserve a seat for your child and bring your
carseat aboard a plane nowadays, I do not know how each airline
differs in their official 'policy' of what carseats they allow on the
plane (if they do at all).
is that so? no airline I've ever flown allows car seats to be used on
their planes

WestJet says just the opposite: " If a seat is purchased for the infant,
the infant must be restrained in a seat certified for motor vehicle or
aircraft use."
