Commonwealth Bank launches Ultimate Awards Mastercard credit card

Child's age changing during Trip
Nov 05, 2019, 10:11 AMI believe it's the age they are when the trip begins. We had the same thing with a 2yr old a few years ago & at the time the travel agent said as long as they were under 2 for departure it was fine - we didn't end up booking so not 100% sure if this is the case though...
