Family travel, planned around the people in it

For young children, we look at flight times that fit around sleep, bassinet requests where the aircraft offers them, and the airline's allowance for strollers and car seats. For older relatives, we favour routes with fewer transfers and more comfortable connection times, and we note any wheelchair or mobility assistance at the time of booking.

We pass these requests to the airline, but the airline decides whether they can be met, and some, such as bassinets, cannot be confirmed in advance. We will always tell you which requests are confirmed and which remain only requests.

Infant and child fares, and the documents each traveller needs, follow airline rules and the entry rules of your destination. We point you to what to check, but responsibility for travel documents stays with the traveller.
