Flying with babies

Our baby-friendly cabin crew will be on hand to help throughout your flight. We’ll warm milk if you need it, and there are usually changing facilities onboard.

Your baby must be healthy and at least 48 hours old to travel with us. If you've booked a seat for your baby (instead of travelling on your lap) they can sit in their car seat. You can find a list of the safety requirements for the car seat by clicking here.

Alternatively, we offer specially designed inflight cots or bassinets on board. 

You'll need to get in touch to request a cot or bassinet before your flight so we can check availability.

• If you already have a booking, please log in to My Booking where you can speak to an advisor via web messaging.

• If you have not yet made your booking and wish to check the cot/bassinet availability before you book, please Contact us by telephone. When a sky cot/bassinet has been pre-booked, seat numbers will be assigned by the airport on the day of departure.

Please note: if an infant is over two years of age at any part of the journey, a seat will need to be arranged for them, please contact us to book

Feeding your baby

Mothers are welcome to breastfeed onboard. Our crew will make you as comfortable as possible, and can provide an extra blanket or a seat in the galley if you'd like some more privacy. We can’t store expressed milk, but we have ice and ice buckets if you need to keep it cool for later use.

If you're bringing baby food, milk or formula in your hand baggage, make sure you read about the airport security guidance on how much and what you can bring. Here's the guidance for the UK.

If you're flying from London Heathrow you can reserve your baby milk or formula and collect it at the airport

If you need milk warming up, just let the cabin crew know and they’ll be happy to do it, by warming it in hot water then leaving it to cool.

If you’re travelling with an infant on your lap (instead of their own seat), you can request a pureed baby meal for them by calling or texting our Customer Services team. We don't offer children's meals for lap infants, so if your little one has moved on to solid food please bring something along with you for them to eat.
