Just called QANTAS direct to confirm all that I had been told at Flight Center. YES was the answer to all the questions

: Hi Becky,
:
: We flew back to Australia from New York when
: my daughter was 10 months. You have to make
: sure you ring the airline over and over to
: confirm the bassinet. Even if you book it
: once, you have to keep following it up. I
: booked it and when I called the 3rd time to
: confirm seating I again asked about the
: bassinet and they said, "Oh, it's not
: confirmed you need it", I told them at
: that time that I do and again they booked it
: in for me. They tried to tell me they can't
: confirm I will get it 100%, so I asked them
: to put in my notes that if I do not have a
: bassinet, I will need to be re-booked on
: another flight, they added that to the notes
: and they commented to me when I checked in
: that I will definitely have a bassinet and
: the notes are where added was what gave them
: the incentive to make sure it happened.

: Hi Becky. We moved here when my son was 3
: 1/2
: months old. Our pediatrician in the US said
: we should wait to do the flight until he was
: 3 months old, to give him a bit more
: immunity to protect him on the flight with
: lots of people and their germs in close
: quarters.
: Good luck with whatever you decide. It's a
: very long flight, especially with a baby on
: your lap.
