Travelling with children

Children aged 2-11 must be accompanied by adults aged 16 and over. In the case of a group of children, the number of accompanying adults shall not be less than 10% the number of children traveling. An adult can supervise a group of children if it is not responsible for the baby on flight.

Like any other Passenger, the traveling child must have a valid identity document and other travel documents.

Travelling with infants

Infants under the age of 2 years as of the date of travel may fly on an adult’s lap as an infant Ticket does not include a separate seat on the aircraft. If You want to have a separate seat for an infant, You must purchase a child’s Ticket. Adults can accompany only one infant.

The limited number of infants can be accepted on the aircraft. It depends on the standard amount of oxygen masks, infant life jackets and infant belts. Infants’ sitting is only possible in special areas and with a person over 16 years of age using a special infant belt.

If the infant reaches the age of 2 years prior to the return journey they must pay the applicable fare, taxes, fees and charges for that part of the journey.

Passengers traveling with infants may carry reasonable quantities of liquids in hand baggage (e.g. baby food, gel, milk) and can be asked to show these liquids at the security checkpoint. Please note that security restrictions may vary at each airport and we recommend that you contact the airport of departure in advance. This information is for informational purposes only.

Just like any other passenger, the young passenger must hold a valid travel document with a photo to board the flight.

Infant passengers cannot have cabin baggage on board. They are entitled to one checked baggage up to 10 kg free of charge, plus one fully collapsible pram (or a stroller, a carrycot, or an infant car type seat). Accompanying adult’s baggage allowances remains the same.

Unaccompanied minors

Unaccompanied minor service is mandatory to children from 5 -11 years old. Unaccompanied service can be provided to children aged 12-15, if requested by their parents or guardians. This service ensures that the child is under the supervision of the airline from check-in until the child has met his/her parent or guardian upon arrival at the destination.

Upon arrival at the airport, the parent / guardian must know the name, surname and contact details of the parent/guardian who will meet the Passenger at the destination. This information must be provided at the airport at the time of checking-in for the flight.

Note that the parent or guardian must remain at the airport until the flight has departed. At the final destination, the parent or guardian must arrive on time for the arrival of the flight. The unaccompanied minor service must be arranged and paid for in advance as prior confirmation is required due to the limited number of unaccompanied minors per flight. Children under the age of 5 years are not accepted for flight without an accompanying person.
