Booking a holiday without knowing D.O.B

[Mark8815]

Good evening, I’ve sent a message to TUI a few days ago but as of yet haven’t had a reply (I know they’ll be very busy)
Question is, I’m trying to book a holiday for next year, my daughter is due to be born in April this year, which means she will be 1 on the holiday I’m wanting to book. Does anyone know what I do to book without knowing the date of birth yet? If they’re under one year old there is an option to select if not born yet, but not when they’ll be 1 year old.
Any help would be great.

I wouldn't take a 1 year old on a flight!

For what reason?

Is this your 1st child?

No my 3rd, all of which have been on flights from 6 month old.

In my experience, most airlines just said to wait until the baby is born and they will then add for a nominal fee post-booking. It's more challenging if you want to book a seat at the same time though - and if it's not cost prohibitive, i'd suggest you do unless it's very short and you can time take off with the usual sleeping pattern (which you won't know yet!).

I booked a flight with my daughter before she was born but don't remember having any particular issues. Are you definitely going to need DoB at purchase?

Hello, thanks for your input. Yes I need the D.O.B upon booking, if I was going when she was under 12 months old then I could just tick the “hasn’t been born yet” box, but as she will be over 1 I need to put in her D.O.B. I’ve joined Twitter and sent them a message on there too so hopefully can get it cleared up soon so I can get it booked.
Thanks again.
