Until the age of 2, infants travel without their own seat. Secured with a special safety belt, known as a loop belt, they travel on the lap of their parent or guardian. Loop belts are part of the standard equipment on our aircraft, so there is no need to request them in advance.
Alternatively, your infant may travel in their own child seat on a separate seat. To do so, please book a separate seat for your child and ensure that the child seat complies with the applicable safety requirements.
Children (from 2 to 11 inclusive)
Children between the ages of 2 and 12 travel on their own seat and receive a 20% discount on the regular ticket fare. You are welcome to bring and use your own child car seat on board. Please familiarise yourself with the applicable safety requirements before travelling. Please note that your child car seat must be approved and carry a certification label in accordance with ECE R 44/03 or ECE R 44/04.
