Infant Booking information


Infant (0-2 years)

Infants who travel on a parent's lap are charged a flat rate of €25/£25* or equivalent per one-way flight on all routes within Europe, or 10% of the adult fare on flights to North America.

For comfort and convenience you may wish to consider purchasing a seat for your infant. To do so, proceed by booking your infant as a child at the applicable child fare and bring your aviation authority approved, forward facing, car safety seat on board the aircraft.

If a baby turns two years old after the outward journey, but before the return trip:

Children more than two years old must purchase a seat. If a child turns two years old during a phase of the journey, you must purchase a seat for the child, or alternatively, make two separate reservations, one for the outward journey and one for the return journey.

Infant date of birth must be provided in order to complete a booking with infants.

*This flat fare rate excludes standard taxes & charges.
