Infants (under 2 years)
Updated
Infants are allowed to bring one car seat and stroller free of charge on our flights.
You will be able to check-in your stroller or you can bring it to the gate for boarding where it will be put in the baggage compartment. It will be available when de-boarding the aircraft. You might have to pick it up at the baggage hall due to local customs restrictions.
You will be allowed to bring the following buggies instead of hand baggage:
GB Pocket
Britax Holiday
Silver Crossjet
BabyZen YoYo
Infants having their own seat can sit in the car seat. The equipment must be allowed by international aviation regulators (EASA and FAA) like infant car seats which can be used onboard. We do not allow other types of comfort seating aids meant for children to be used. Children above the age of 2 will not be allowed to use an infant car seat.
Make sure your car seat complies with requirements below:
It must be designed to be secured by a normal single lap strap used on aircrafts.
Separate 5-point restraining harness should be in the seat.
The seat must be able to fit in the seat. The area it must fit in is 43 cm*43 cm (17 in*17 in).
The car seat must secured to the aircraft seat at all times
Three-point harness to secure the seat cannot be required.
We do not allow rear facing seats
The car seat would have to be placed in the hold if it cannot be fully secured. Your infant would then have to be secured on the lap when fasten seatbelt sign is on.
We demand the seats to have one of the following labels:
EU approved label
Approved for use in motor vehicles according to the UN standard ECE R 44, -03” or later
‘Qualification Procedure for Child Restraint Systems for Use in Aircraft’ (TÜV Doc.: TÜV/958-01/2001)
FAA approved labelling
Approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft according to US FMVSS No 213 and manufactured to these standards on or after February 26, 1985 ‘This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards. `This Restraint is Certified for Use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft.’
Australia/New Zealand approved labelling
Australian Standard AS1754 New Zealand Standard NZS1354
Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS1754
Canadian approved labelling
Standard CMVSS 213/213.1
Please note:
Ground staff and cabin crew might ask you to show the labelling. Be familiar with where you can find it.
Cabin crew would have to see that the seat is fastened properly and securely and accordance with manufacturer instructions.
We do not have ISOFIX systems of seatbelts to be worn over the shoulder. The car seat must be used by the seatbelt in the seat.
