Seating

Free seat selection

When you travel with an infant (on your lap), you can choose a seat for yourself and everyone in your booking, free of charge (up to a party of nine). Subject to availability, one person in your booking can choose a carrycot/seat position.

If you don’t choose a seat in advance, we’ll select suitable seats for you before the flight.

Carrycots and infant seats supplied by us

On our long haul services, we provide carrycots and infant seats free of charge for babies up to 2 years old, weighing under 12.5 kg (27.5lbs) that can be used in flight when the seat belt signs are off. If you’ve chosen a carrycot seating position, your crew will offer you a carrycot or infant seat for your baby, subject to availability and aircraft type.

Carrycots
Our specially designed carrycots are only for infants up to 6 months old, weighing no more than 8kg (17.5lb), so your baby can sleep in comfort in the best seat on the flight. You can bring your own CoziGo carrycot cover to lessen distractions from light and movement. 

Infant seats
Our infant seats can be used by little ones from birth up to 24 months, who weigh no more than 12.5kg (27.5lbs). These seats are secured onto the carrycot position by cabin crew and are adjustable to two positions: reclined or upright. For infants under 6 months, the seat should always be used in the reclined position. For infants over 6 months, either position can be used.

Please note that, even if you’ve chosen a carrycot seat position, we may have to move you and your baby to another seat if there is someone who has greater need for the space, such as a wheelchair user.

Bringing your own child car seat

Children

If you’re travelling with your child (over two years), you can bring your own single-piece car seat to attach to their aircraft seat, providing it meets the airline safety requirements listed below. Please note that two-part car seats (a seat and separate base) are not suitable for use on aircraft.

Infants

If you have booked a separate seat for your infant (under 24 months) to travel as a child, you must bring either a child car seat that complies with the airline safety requirements listed below, or an AmSafe system that attaches to the aircraft seat for your baby to sit in during the flight.

If the car seat does not meet the safety requirements, it can still be used, but your infant (under 24 months) must sit on your lap using an extension seat belt during taxi, take off, landing and turbulence. The cabin crew will provide the extension seat belt and show you how to use it when you board the flight.

Travelling in economy (World Traveller) and premium economy (World Traveller Plus)

When using your child’s car seat on board the aircraft, you should choose the following seat positions for you and your child for safety reasons, if they are available:

• All aircraft - In a window seat, with you next to them.
• Larger aircraft - In a centre seat (not on the aisle), with you next to them.

If these seat positions are not available when you check in, please be aware that we may need to move you and your child once on board. 

Travelling in business (Club World)

When travelling in Club Suite or on rear-facing Club World seats, your child can only sit in their own child car seat during cruise. For take-off, landing and at times of turbulence, your child must be strapped into the aircraft seat, with the child car seat put away in the overhead locker.
