Baby on board

Baby's comfort

Your baby may travel on short-haul flights from age one week, and from three weeks for long-haul flights. Below are a few recommendations to make the trip as pleasant as possible for both you and the baby :

- In the cabin, the air is dry and pressurized; carry a small bottle of sweetened water with you to make your baby drink regularly. In addition, swallowing helps babies reduce the effects of pressure changes on their delicate inner ears.
- Take-off and landing can be very stressful times for a small child… Reassure your baby by breast-feeding or with a pacifier.
- Remember to pack baby's favourite toys and stuffed animals to keep him or her busy during the flight and avoid tears…
- To feel comfortable, baby must be clean… Bring enough diapers and baby wipes to last throughout the flight.

Baby's luggage

Your child is also entitled to one item of hand luggage. You may therefore carry on board with you a baby bag as well as your own hand luggage. Powdered milk is authorized in the cabin, and the steward or stewardess will be happy to supply water to prepare your bottles during the flight. 

Exception to the regulations on the transport of liquids

You may carry with you in the cabin the food and medicines your baby requires: milk bottles, jars of baby food, aspirin and other drugs in liquid form for children (without prescription).
Important : you may be asked to taste these products by the security officers so we recommend placing them in resealable containers. 
 
Liquid care products (e.g. baby lotion) are subject to regulations. These items must be in 100ml containers placed together in a transparent plastic bag (20 cm by 20 cm).

Regarding baby seats and strollers, you must ask your airline. As a general rule, you should notify your airline if you're travelling with a baby.
