Do you buy a plane ticket for a 2-year-old?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Yes, airplane tickets are purchased for 2-year-olds. In Turkey and international airlines, the general rule is:
- 0–2 years old (infant): Travel without a seat assignment, usually at about 10% of adult fare, sitting on a parent's lap. Some airlines may not offer a separate seat without additional charge.
- 2 years and older (child): Own seat required; most airlines offer child fares at 25–33% discount off adult price, but this varies by airline and ticket class.
So a 2-year-old who has reached their birthday travels in their own seat and needs a separate ticket. Return date timing is important: if birthday falls on travel date or the child turns 2 during the trip, airline policy may apply differently. When purchasing, have your child's passport/ID and verified age ready.
