You're welcome to use your own child safety restraint system (CRS) on board our flights, provided that the restraint systems are certified and marked as such.
We want to ensure a comfortable flight experience for both adults and children.
Infants (age 0-2) must sit on your lap during the duration of the flight. Our cabin crew will provide you with a safety belt and a life vest for your child before taking off.
If you wish to book a separate seat for your infant, you must purchase a child ticket. Infants occupying their own seat must be placed in an approved and marked car seat/child seat and secured in the seat next to you. For safety reasons, the car seat/child seat should always be positioned at the window seat.
It is free of charge to bring a car seat/child seat on board for your infant if the child is traveling on a child ticket.
The car seat/child seat should be forward-facing and must be secured with the seat's built-in belt.
Small children (age 2-11) must sit in their own seat during the flight and travel on a child ticket.

Seating when travelling with children between 2 and 11 years old
If you are travelling with children, you will add the number of children and their ages when making a booking.
You can purchase seats during or after your booking is made. This is recommended if you have any preference of seats, you want to know your seat number in advance or ensure that the whole traveling party sits together.
If you do not purchase any seats, our booking system will find you suitable seats for the minor between 2 and 11 and the accompanying adult, free of charge, within the same row and aisle. Where this is not possible, you will be seated no more than one row or aisle away from the child. Your seat numbers will be communicated to you upon check-in, unless there are exceptional circumstances that may require adjustments either at the airport or on board the aircraft.
Seating arrangements for minors over 11 who travel with adults is subject to the standard conditions of the Ticket. For minors under 2 (infants) please check here.
