Does the baby have luggage?
Yes, special baggage allowances apply for children under 2 years old. The conditions depend on whether a separate seat has been purchased for the child.
Child under 2 without a separate seat (free ticket)
If you are travelling with an infant on your lap (without a separate seat), you are entitled to:
- 1 piece of checked baggage weighing no more than 10 kg.
- Baggage dimensions — no more than 115 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height).
Please note: this fare does not include hand luggage for the child. However, you may bring items needed during the flight (formula, water, nappies, wet wipes) into the cabin — these are not counted as hand luggage.
What can be checked in as infant baggage?
You may check in the following items as infant baggage:
- baby clothes and footwear;
- nappies, swaddles;
- baby food (jars, formula);
- toys;
- other items needed for the baby during the trip.
Pushchairs and car seats are carried free of charge in addition to the baggage allowance.
Child under 2 with a separate seat (paid ticket)
If you have purchased a separate seat for your child (paid ticket), the baggage allowance is determined by your fare. Usually this includes:
- 1 piece of hand luggage up to 115 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height), weighing up to 10 kg. This allowance also applies to passengers under 12 years of age.
- no baggage allowance or 1 piece of checked baggage, depending on the fare.
