Flying with children FAQs
Can I bring milk and baby food onboard?
Milk and baby food are allowed onboard. Just so you know, these items may need to be screened separately when you pass through security.
What’s the minimum age for my child to have their own seat?
To comply with UK legislation, children under 6 months old must sit on an adult’s lap and be secured with the strap provided. Children aged between 6 months and 2 years may also sit on an adult’s lap, unless you wish to purchase a seat for them.
Can I take my pushchair on the plane?
Pushchairs can be transported in the hold free of charge. You can usually keep them with you until you reach the gate – please check with the member of staff at check-in. Due to the limited space onboard, pushchairs aren’t allowed into the cabin.
Will my baby change bag count towards hand luggage allowance?
Yes. Our hand baggage allowance is 10kg and the maximum dimensions are 55 x 40 x 20cm.
