In a situation where seats are limited, seats are best assigned so that at least 1 adult is next to a child below the age of 15.
If you chose seats other than Main Cabin or Basic economy, a few days after your ticket purchase seats will be assigned to you so that any minor below 15 years of age can have at least 1 adult with them To note: If you and your child are traveling on a different reservation, notify Reservation to keep a note about it.
For children above 2 years of age, they must have their own seat and be ticketed an adult fare. American Airlines allows children as old as 2 days to travel, but if you’re traveling with an infant less than 7 days old, you need to have your healthcare provider fill out a medical form for the passenger before your flight. The infant must be accompanied by someone of age 16 or older/infant’s parent(s) in the same cabin.
