Regulations stipulate infants occupying a seat must be seated next to an adult who can set O2 (oxygen) masks for the infant.

GDS Keyword Entry
As always, we would like to remind you that when creating a reservation with an Infant occupying a seat, it's essential that the INFANT SSR/Keyword is entered into the system and related to the infant. Once entered, the system will judge the cabin class and equipment and will send a message based on eligibility. "UC" for the non-eligible equipment and "HK" for the eligible equipment.
