Children age 2 or older
Flying with children takes a lot of planning. While you might know the answer to “Are we there yet?”, you probably need the answers to a few other things to prepare.
We offer different programs and services based on government restrictions or the age of your child. Please read through all applicable age-related information for more details. Your child may or may not be able to use many of our programs or be responsible for other children or siblings.
