This is a peculiar little oversight in the reservation system design at AA: trimming 100 years off from a person's age, leading them to be classified l shown as a baby in the system. Perhaps it's the same also with some other airlines.

Given the gradually increasing average life expectancy and active life many are pursuing, there will be more similar cases until the systems can keep up.

 
Not the same with QF, during Covid my grandmother and her identical twin sister claimed the title of the oldest living identical twins (female) in the world. My grandmother died during Covid but not as a result of Covid, she just wore out. After my grandmother died Mum and Dad wanted to take my grandmothers sister back to Perth to be with her remaining family. I was P1 at the time and the flights were booked via my account, a QF agent called me to confirm if the PAX was older than 100yo. When I said yes I was informed QF would do their best to put them in J or R4, all 3 seats on either side. From memory Mum wanted R4 over J on the way to Perth as moving a 103/4yo was apparently easy at R4 as the arm rests can be raised and “the old girl could be pushed into position”, Mum is an aged care Nurse.
 
Second childhood....so may not necessarily be incorrect :p

Wow, I don't know whether should I laugh at it or should I say aww. It is cute to call a 101-year-old woman a little baby. I love to gamble but sometimes I face transaction-related problems in offline casinos Nowadays days I am using online casino platforms to gamble and I have a list of minimum deposit casino Australia to fully enjoy my experience. let me tell you more. I am talking about this website called ausscasinosanalyzers. They are not a casino, they are websites where you can find a list of casinos, like cheap casinos, bonus casinos, crypto casinos, and reviews of casinos. whether you are now to a casino or a professional gambler, both can use them to find the best casino for themselves.

Edit: I would love to hear more about her.
