Air India ticket passenger name has CHD

[jjml]

Oh what a pain to deal with Air India. 10+ calls just to get a booking and payment going.

Question: My child's name on the ticket appears as LASTNAME/FIRSTNAMECHD (notice the CHD). When pressed for clarity, the rep would only say that it is the code of child CHD that is expected to appear. I don't buy this. Any experience with this or similar name on passport v/s ticket issue?

Thanks for any comments!

Passenger codes (CHD) used for children up to 12years
While code - (Letters ‘capital Inf’ for infants up to 2 years.)

cabin crew need to keep track of passengers - especially if minors flying unaccompanied. Seat assignment not to be done for children/infants in special seats near aircraft exits if those require passengers to assist in dire situations.

also, these codes prevent adults from traveling on these tickets.
