What is the baggage allowance for infants and children?
Last updated: 24 April, 2024
British Airways, BA Cityflyer or BA Euroflyer infant baggage allowance for a baby under 24 months without a seat, regardless of cabin, includes a 23kg bag checked into the hold. No extra baggage allowance can be purchased on a ticket for an infant without a seat.
There is no checked baggage allowance for you or your infant if you are both travelling on a hand-baggage only (Basic) fare, and you can't buy any extra baggage for your infant.
Children and infants with a seat have the same free baggage allowance as adults.
In addition, each infant and child, can take up to two of the following essential extras checked into the hold, even on our hand baggage only (Basic) fare:
- Fully collapsible pushchair (stroller)
- Car or booster seat
- Travel cot
- Baby back carrier
