Traveling with infants 

Traveling with infants on a flight will be challenging, so it is necessary to be aware of policies that will make it easier for them to travel. The airline will do its best to make the seat arrangement in such a way that the families can sit together but to make it easier, one must follow the instructions. If the infant is under two years old, then the passenger can ask for the bassinet, or it is allowed to keep the baby on the lap that must be tied with the particular seat belt extension. 

For children two years old and older, passengers are advised to bring their own car seat or have the infant seated beside them. 

Passengers can request a bassinet, but the infant must be up to 2 years old at the time of online reservation or booking management; passengers can still make the request. It must be remembered that passengers cannot access the bassinet on a regular booking at a child's fare rate.
