Travelling with young children and during pregnancy
We can request assistance at the airport if you are travelling alone with young children.
Children over the age of 2 years are legally required to have their own seat. Both infants and children may use a suitable car seat onboard the aircraft.
All car seats and harness used onboard the aircraft must meet the safety guidelines and be pre-approved by the airline.
The car seat must comply with the following restrictions:
- Only models which meet with the standards set by the CAA are permitted
- The complete operating instructions must be available
- It must be a forward facing model with a single release, 5-point type harness
- The harness must secure the child’s lap, torso and shoulders
- The car seat must be in good repair
- Must be able to be secured to the aircraft seat using the aircraft seat belt
If your child requires a car seat or harness but is over the age of 3 years, please contact us and we will look at making the necessary arrangements on your behalf.
We would discourage expectant mothers from travelling after their 28th week of pregnancy, however we will welcome you onboard up to the 34th week of pregnancy provided that you have a medical certificate from your doctor stating that you are able to travel by air. If you have experienced any problems during your pregnancy, we would ask that you present a certificate from your doctor stating that you are fit to travel. Furthermore, we would not recommend the carriage of babies less than 7 days old or of new mothers who have given birth within the last 7 days.
Exceptions may be made to allow expectant mothers to travel after this time on the Scottish Highlands and Islands routes.
