Children's food and drink

Let us help you pre-order your little one's on-board meal, and guide you with bottles and baby food.

Children's meals

For short-haul flights, you can pre-order and pay for a Peggy and Leon snack box, including snacks, a drink and a small toy.

For long-haul flights, we've created a range of free children’s meals, which are nutritionally balanced and suitable for children who are able to eat solid food.

Please order your child's meal at least 24 hours before your long-haul flight, which you can do using Manage My Booking. Go to 'Special requests' and under 'Special meals' you'll find the 'Child meal' option.

When you pre-order a child’s meal, our ‘Feed Kids First’ policy means that your little ones are happy, so you can enjoy your own meal in peace.

Infant meals and milk

We carry a limited supply of baby food sachets on long-haul flights, so please bring enough unopened baby food, sterilised bottles and any other feeding equipment in your hand baggage to feed your little one. We’re unable to sterilise bottles or provide sterilised water on board.

You can take baby milk, formula and baby food through security, even when it exceeds standard liquid restrictions.

Breast milk is allowed in the cabin, up to 2 litres per container, provided it is:

  • In a clear container or storage bag
  • Liquid, not frozen
  • Not stored in metal or insulated containers

Airport security will vary around the world, so please check what restrictions your airport has in place for carrying baby milk and food in your hand baggage.
