Traveling with children

Here are a few tips designed to make your journey and stay with us more pleasant in order to keep your journey with children and babies as stress-free and smooth as possible.

Most airlines normally allow pregnant women to fly up to the 36th week of pregnancy. As there are different ways of handling this situation, we would ask you to contact the airline on which you have booked your flight.

Travelling with a baby or young child

Feeding bottles and baby food can be taken on board.

Please note the security regulations about taking liquids in your hand luggage too.

If you have a foldable pram (buggy), you can take it with you as far as the gate after having checked in. It will be taken over by personnel there and loaded on board the plane. If you have a traditional pram, you must check it in and hand it over at the bulky luggage desk.

There are normally no child seats on planes. Please ask your airline whether you can use your own child seat or booster seat.

Service at the airport

You will find rooms for changing nappies both in the public area and in the security area at the airport.

For families with babies and small children, there are prams available for hire after the security check. These can be taken to the departure gate.

There are children’s play areas on the departures level in the terminal before and after the security checks.

Children travelling alone

Airline employees are responsible for providing special care for children travelling alone. Ask your airline about all the options, modalities and costs associated with the care of unaccompanied children.

Your child must be at least five years old to be allowed to fly alone (you can obtain precise information from your travel agent or your airline). The child’s age must be noted on the booking. Parents hand over their child to the airline staff after the check-in process and the latter look after the child during the waiting period before departure, in the plane and after arrival at the destination airport.

Relatives or friends must meet your child at the destination airport after the baggage reclaim area. The persons picking up the child must be able to identify themselves with their address and personal details. Then your child can continue the journey alone.
