We flew to Austria from the west coast which is a 9+ hour change. Our 14 month old is not coping with it at all - up all night screaming and then wanting to sleep every 30 minutes during the day. It’s not helped by the fact that my husband’s family’s house is very hot and there are no fans (sold out city wide apparently due to the heat wave). We are miserable being stuck in a hot dark house 24/7 because we can’t leave without her screaming bloody murder and shredding our nerves. What can we possibly do to make things slightly more bearable? I don’t want to force her to adjust too quickly to the time but this isn’t sustainable

You have to call to purchase the ticket for an infant. They’ve pretended to purchase the ticket for me twice now - took my card info and everything. What is happening. I’ve been on hold with them for probably seven hours cumulatively in the last two weeks. Husband won’t let me just cancel and rebook with another airline but I’m about to just rage cancel at this point. Our flight is in seven days and who knows if we can even get seats together at this point and I would rather swallow a fork than hold a 16 month old in my lap for a 15 hour flight.

AAAAAHHH!!!

Edit:

After an hour on hold, they asked me to approve a charge of $1500 to add my daughter. I ask if we are all sitting together, and which seat she was given. They keep repeating that she will sleep in the bassinet (?). I check online and see that the seats adjacent to the bassinet are taken and our seats are elsewhere… what. I then ask if they are charging us just to add her as a “child” but she still doesn’t have a seat. They say yes lol. I ended up just canceling the flights, rebooking and lying about her age to get her a child ticket. I somehow saved money doing this. It is now my husbands problem to get them to change her age on the ticket… I have retired from my being on hold with Lufthansa career.

Still can’t believe they were trying to charge me $1500 for no seat… scammers

I’m in the sorry position of having to repair a crack in my shared side sewer. It’s early enough to get it lined but I don’t have much money so if anyone has some cheapish and decent recommendations, I’ll take them.
