Infant



Infants under the age of two are considered (Lap Children), because they are small enough to sit on the adult's lap. In some cases, lap children travel for free on domestic flights, but are not assigned a seat, but a Bassinet/Carrycot is sticked on the barrier in front of the mother in the first row. Any way airlines try to provide empty seats next to parents when they are availability. It is important to inform the airline that an adult is traveling with an infant even though the infant doesn't need an airline ticket or seat. but if an adult is traveling with two infants, the airline will provide a seat next to the parent for the second infant. the second infant will be charged as a child fare ticket.



For International flights, lap children require airline tickets. these tickets cost about 10% of the applicable adult fare. In addition to the standard of services, they provide the mother with baby holder (Bassinet/Carrycot) if the seat is not suitable for her.
