I traveled to the Philippines with my daughter last year and she was 3yrs then, and my god, it cost me $1,085 just for her ticket, and mine was the same price. Her was $1,085 for the simple fact that she had her own seat. I at least thought by her being so young, there would be some sort of discount, but it wasn't. If you think you can carry you child in your lap the entire way, which is a long flight, of course, you might come out a lot cheaper.

i'll be travelling with my baby too and paid for just my seat

since your baby is only 5 months, chances are she'll be on your arms/lap most of the time anyway. also most airlines provide a baby carrier/stroller on-board anyway for your baby to sleep on. just make sure you request this before your flight.

also if you don't want to pay for excess baggage make sure yours does not go beyond your limit, and depending on how big your baby is, use a sling/stroller to carry him around airports and have just one bag (or your baby's needs and impt stuff) as your carry-on.

put baby's needs that will be used for the whole flight but make it as light as possible.

better not to purchase ticket for your baby. i had a baby which is 2 years old and even if i purchased a ticket for her she still wants to sit in my lap. i wasted my money,#######

i bought a seat for my son for he is so big he will be almost 2 yrs old by the time we travel over christmas but if he sat on our lap it is 10% of an adult fare or it is 80 % of adult fare for his seat but i realized 24 hrs sitting on my lap wasnt going to be good for either of us with your baby being so young save your money just ask for bassenet good luck and have a fun trip

you could request for a bassinet when you buy your ticket. i traveled with my daughter going to the pi when she was 3 months old and and when she was 11 months old. i paid $180 for her.
