Booked a round trip MIA → DFW → NRT → HKG through American for me and my son. At booking he was 11, but he’ll be 12 by the time we actually travel.
The AA flights (MIA–DFW–NRT) are on American metal, and the NRT–HKG segment is on Cathay Pacific.
When I tried entering his passport info on the Cathay site, it wouldn’t let me proceed. The error says something like “Child must be under 12 and above 2 years old.” I’m guessing the system sees his current age (11) and treats him as a child, even though he’ll be 12 at the time of travel.
AA charged both of us the same fare and the ConciergeKey line told me everything should be fine, but it’s a bit concerning that I can’t enter his passport details on the CX side.
Has anyone run into this before with partner airlines and a kid turning 12 before the trip?
