Grandparents traveling with 9 month old grandaughter

Are there any specific documents we'll need to fly with her from OAK to SAN and back?   Her parents will be in Europe, so we'll need to get any necessary documents handled prior to their departure.

 

Thanks for your help.

Assuming she will be a lap child, you'll need to verify her age with a birth certificate, or I believe doctor's records.

 

Here is a whole page full of tidbits:

Allow a little extra time to get the Boarding Verification Document from the ticket agent when you arrive at the airport.

 

Good luck! There are several threads with additional information, but let us know if you have any other concerns.
